Who’s the star of the series?

[Potemkin_Prod]

All but Doohan could be and were easily replaced by extras, bit players or guest stars.

I think Doohan was replaceable, too. Who was it in FUTURAMA? Frenchy?

Welshie. Because 'the guy who played Scotty couldn't yodel.'

 

[Ssosmcin]

Eddie Paskey. He was the star. Don't let anyone tell you different.

 

[Nerd unRage]

Shatner just because he's Kirk and Kirk is the captain. If this was a poll about who's more popular, then it'd be Nimoy.

 

[T'Girl]

Edit ... oh never mind.

 

[Navaros]

I voted for Nimoy because Shatner could be replaced without ruining the show, yet Nimoy could not. Nimoy adds a unique value that could not be supplied by another actor.

 

[Captain Robert April]

That wasn't the studio's position. Whenever he started getting a bit uppity, they'd threaten to bring in somebody else "to wear the ears."

 

[Harvey]

They'd threaten, surely, but Inside Star Trek: The Real Story is pretty clear that those casting suggestions for a new Vulcan in season two were just a negotiating ploy on behalf of the producers.

Welshy.

Yes. You've summed up in two sentences what took me several paragraphs to express earlier. I just wish I could be in the majority opinion in one of these polls someday!
