Actors You'd Like to See in Trek

I applaud this line of reasoning.
In terms of bigger-name actors who may help the box office:
Tom Hanks would be quite a coup.
A few years ago, Daniel Craig said he wouldn't mind being in a "Star Trek" movie. I think Craig would make an interesting Vulcan.
Either Ben Stiller (a fan) or Ricky Gervais would be a neat choice for a Harry Mudd-type of villain.
I agree with King Daniel that Johnny Depp would work as a Q or Trelane type of character. Almost too on point, really.

Jack Black as Harry Mudd
Daniel Craig as a "normal" Garth of Izar (assuming the accident which turned Garth insane never happened in this timeline)
Tom Hanks as Capt. Ronald Tracey OR Commodore Matt Decker

Hanks would be quite a coup, and I would love to see a Super A-List Actor™ in a nuTrek film.
I am a bit more ambivalent about Jack Black, maybe because I am burned out on his acting style.
David Tennant and Matt Smith.
Okay, John Hurt can come too.
(cue the Billie Piper fans in 3, 2, 1...)

Jewel Staite as Charvanek (the Romulan commander from "The Enterprise Incident")
And I wonder if Ben Cross would be up for a "dual" role, as the Romulan from "Balance of Terror." Just to mess with people's heads.

I'd love to see Dwayne Johnson or Dave Batista as Klingons. Maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger as Kahless.
I also wouldn't mind seeing Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, Jeff Goldblum or Jason Statham involved in some capacity.

I already got Benedict Cumberbatch. I'm good. 
Jack Black, mentioned earlier, is too short to play Harry Mudd. Mudd must be taller than Kirk, or it doesn't work.
Ricky Gervais could play Cyrano Jones.

Will Ferrell as Harry Mudd?
^ Nah, I don't think so - I'd like to see Ferrell in Trek, but for some reason I actually wouldn't want him doing a comedy schtick. I wonder how he'd do if he played it straight.
That would be an interesting twist, make Harry Mudd a tortured, angsty, angry, 'bad guy'.
Meh, they have had enough of them.
Let Mudd be Mudd.
^ No, actually I meant having Ferrell play someone else entirely. Harry Mudd should be a funny guy, a basically harmless con-artist. I just don't see Ferrell playing him. If he wants to do Trek, let him play someone else.
Ah. I gotcha.
More Seth MacFarlane!
Someone has a thing for redheads.
Yes. Yes I do.
As should everyone.
Further examples of highly unlikely casting:
Liam Neeson would make a fine Klingon (though I'm not overly keen to see them again).
Denzel Washington (many different types of roles he could take on--versatile actor).
Viola Davis (same as Denzel).
