Who's your pick for the new captain?

Frankly, I feel like we've had enough white dudes in charge of the starship.

I would be surprised if the captain of the new series ends up being both white and male. Fuller has previously expressed his desire for a female person of color, so even if it isn't his original specific actress choice that he had years ago, it would be odd to me if he went back towards familiar casting choices in previous Trek incarnations for captains.
 
I do like the idea of Gillian Anderson, but I do not think it will happen. Just like Angela Bassett (the best two candidates)

Actors:
*Jon Hamm
*Tahmoh Penikett from BSG. He is young enough yet to be a youngish Captain Kirk type.
*Ken Wantanabee
*Matthew Fox would be a favorite choice for captain.
*Patrick Wilson would be great.
*Tony Todd: The man can act
*Lance Reddick
*William Fichtner
*Mandy Patinkin: A little out there, but the man can act and he worked with Fuller before.
*Lee Pace: Worked with Fuller too.. Can act great.

Women leads: (Besides Anderson/Bassett)
*Michelle Rodriguez: Although I would like her as a kick ass 1st officer (a Kira type)
*Maggie Q: Can act and a very hot captain!
*Susan Sarandan
*Cote de pablo
 
Well, you know Vaughn Armstrong will turn up in the new series SOMEHOW, he might as well get to play the lead this time! :techman:
 
I definitely would love to have Lee Pace involved, but I'd prefer to have a woman of color as the captain. Pace would be great as a first officer or doctor (and should be gay).
