    I always felt Jon Hamm would have made a very good Captain Archer. I could easily see him sporting the ENT uniform, more easily than I could see him wear later Starfleet uniforms now that I think of it.

    Edward James Olmos. He was actually offered a role a some point. I can imagine as a great captain.

    You know....

    Joseph-Gordon Levitt would actually make a great young captain. Perhaps even a rogue type character.

    Hell, to stay with 3rd Rock, im sure John Lithgow could pull of a commanding style too.

    Not really. The role he was offered was Kruge in ST III.

    IIRC, either Nimoy or Harve Bennett wanted EJO for that role, but was outvoted by the other.
