Worst Re-Casting Imaginable

Imagine that it is announced that TOS of Star Trek was to be remade... What is the worst possible re-cast for each character that you can think of?

For me:

Captain Kirk: Chris Evans
Spock: Cillian Murphy
Dr McCoy: Michael Emerson
Scotty: Robert Carlyle
Sulu: Masi Oka
Chekov: Shia Labeouf
Uhura: Queen Latifah

That is FAR from being the worst imaginable! Let's try...

Captain Kirk: Donald Trump
Spock: Snooki
Dr McCoy: The Situation
Scotty: random Kardashian sister
Sulu: Lindsay Lohan
Chekov: Justin Beiber
Uhura: FlavaFlav
Miniskirted Beehived Yeoman: Newt Gingrich
 
Let's see, worst imaginable...

Kirk: A small white rabbit
Spock: A statue of Emmett Kelly
McCoy: A box of Frosted Flakes
Scotty: The sound of a jackhammer
And the rest: Shadow puppets projected on a wall
 
^^ Actually I would pay to see/hear FlavaFlav say "hailing frequencies open" in a miniskirt with that giant clock around his neck.

I probably should post that since he's likely to take me up on it.
 
Gary Burghoff as Khan.

David Ogden Stiers as a Talosian.

Jamie Farr as Balok.

Larry Linville as Gary Mitchell.

Alan Alda as Harry Mudd.

edit:

While we're at it,

Harry Morgan as Captain Kirk.

McLean Stevenson as Spock.


And I must throw this in despite the fact that it's another Trek show and despite the fact that it's not miscasting:

Edward Winter as Luther Sloan.

Kirk:    Martin Landau

I'm pleasantly surprised that we haven't yet had some wise guy chime in and list the current movie cast. Could it be that even the 2009 film's detractors agree that it did a good job with the casting? (And am I tempting fate by bringing this up?)

As this is a TOS forum, it would not surprise me if there were a significant number of participants who simply don't care about that angle. That's just speculation, of course.
