I think Kathy Bates has a lot of the same kind of sass, the same kind of down-to-Earth vibe, the same kind of assertiveness, that I think of Bacco as having.

I never said any such thing ever in my entire life ever. I never even thought about such a thing. Trust me, on the list of Things I Was Thinking About While Developing Nan Bacco, elder Janeway wouldn't crack the Top 10,000 of that list.
You are mistaken, as Christopher said, though I think Bates could do the role. So could Helen Mirren, but that's mainly because I'm fairly certain Helen Mirren can do anything.
Jessica Walter? Interesting. Not quite right, but not bad, either.....
I'm still going with Leslie Hendrix as Bacco. And also as the Klingon doctor, B'Oraq.
Jessica Walter definitely brings a more patrician attitude to the roles I've seen her in than I'd associate with Nan Bacco, but I was thinking about her in terms of her wit, her biting sarcasm, and her air of being in charge.
My apologies, then. I very definitely recall somewhere years ago seeing (either in a thread here or an interview somewhere) a short list of influences for Nan Bacco, "part this person, part that person, and a dash of Admiral Janeway," and I thought for sure it came from you.
This is a different character, but I can sort of see Wes Studi as Glinn Dygan!
^nice choice for a Cardassian, but way too old for Dygan.
Good point. If he were a few years younger, though, he'd fit the role well.
Other contenders for Cardassians (not Dygan) include Robert Patrick, Sam Neill, Jeremy Irons and Ed Harris.
Any characters whom Emily Blunt could work well as?
^ Jeremy Irons would be perfect for Adrik Thorsen (the Federation novel).
^Jeremy Irons would indeed be a good Adrik Thorsen.
As for Dygan, how about Matthew Gray Gubler?

Could work! I've not seen him in anything, but he fits the part.

I second that uhm... no.
I stand corrected, gentlemen...
Javier Bardem as a Klingon or Cardassian, maybe?

Javier Bardem is too creepy for Star Trek, IMO. 
How about Cristine Rose for Gell Kammemor?
^I like Rachel Weisz for Kammemor, personally, but Rose looks the part.
Just looking at David Mack's casting for the Vanguard series, I agree with most all of those.
Steve Buscemi as Dr. Leone is a class choice! We know from Reservoir Dogs and Armageddon he can do serious and funny all at once.

What do you guys think of Janina Gavankar as Jasminder Choudhury?
