Re: Jim Cawley?
That doesn't add up to much of a case for him having an outsized ego, of course.

Anyone seen James Cawley of ST: Phase II in the movie?

Re: Jim Cawley?
Oh, there's no doubt of that. It's true of almost any actor or writer or most creative people - no matter how self-effacing we (okay, they) may or may not be as personalities. "Humility" means something different to a performer than to a Buddhist monk. But there's a difference between having a healthy ego and egotistical behavior, which is what ncc-1017-e's use of the term in that context connotes.

Now I have two people to look for tonight--James Cawley and Randy Pausch!
Good for James! The whole way he wound up in this film is a really cool mini-story... glad to hear that his moment of glory not only made it onscreen but also center screen!Funny thing is, the way Abrams likes to frame things I believe Cawley is center frame and Quinto is off to one side - but the focus definitely is on Quinto anyway.

Re: Jim Cawley?
I've seen the film four times now, and while I noticed Mr. Pausch I have yet to see Mr. Cawley

Re: Jim Cawley?
Let me chime in and say that Cawley's contribution to fandom in general and Star Trek in particular is a terrific reason to include him in the film.
Has anyone got a shot showing Cawley? I'd love to see it.

Re: Jim Cawley?
Cool, I'll have to keep a look out. I totally missed Randy Pausch too.
When Spock reenters the bridge to suggest that he should be the one to beam aboard the Narada, at about 1 hour and 34 minutes in, Cawley is standing by the elevator holding a clipboard. He's in a gold shirt, with his hair flattened down.

Re: Jim Cawley?
Supposedly he's on the Kelvin bridge at the start of the movie, but when I went to see Star Trek yesterday I didn't spot him. I'm going again tonight... hopefully the third time will be the charm.I totally missed Randy Pausch too.

Mr. Pausch is the officer who walks across the Kelvin's bridge and tells Captain Robau that they 'have a visual'.

Re: Jim Cawley?
Don't get me wrong I agree good for James! It is only fitting that he is in this film for no other reason than he and his team is trying to keep the original Star Trek alive! Someone needs to!Now I have two people to look for tonight--James Cawley and Randy Pausch!

We know why you really don't like him, as you've posted extensively in the Fan Productions forum.

Re: Jim Cawley?
That is interesting! Randy Pausch was incredibly clever. I will have to look for him.

Re: Jim Cawley?
Nope, can't say I ever noticed Cawley. I know who he is, but wasn't expecting him or paying attention to some background guys.

Re: Jim Cawley?
It only took me five times to see the film to spot Mr Cawley.
He's actually in two shots (three if you count the cut in one of them).
In the first shot he has to avoid bumping into Chekov (shortly before Pavel proposes to de-warp behind Titan.
The second shot he looks at Spock as he enters the bridge to confirm Chekov's calculations as correct.
In both shots he is holding an electronic clip-board.
BTW: Could it be that one of the Vulcan scientist working on the Jellyfish in Spock's mindmeld-flashback is Jeff Quinn (Spock on New Voyages/Phase II) (the one hunched over an open panel - camera right on the screen)?
