Actors/actresses that you would like to see in Trek

[DEWLine]

If Stacey Abrams can do it...and if Thunberg's interested and it can be set up in a way she's ethically comfortable with?

As for regular actors...since Toronto's going to be home for a lot of stuff in future?

Paul Gross
Grace Park
Nazneen Contractor
Jim Codrington
Athena Karkanis
Hélène Joy

This is an incomplete list, clearly. I expect to add to it.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Hélène Joy

Pretty much any of the Murdoch Mysteries regulars.

 

[Vger23]

Brendan Fraser

 

[Feltman_Langer]

Rebecca Liddiard she would make an excellent XO or Captain I suspect.

 

[FederationHistorian]

Parminder Nagra
Anil Kapoor
Dave Bautista (as a Klingon)
Hannah John-Kamen
Aaron Ashmore
Luke Macfarlane
Thom Allison
Sarah Power
Anna Silk

[Bornin1980something]

BRIAN BLESSED!
At other end of the scale, Halston Sage, especially if they want some Orville fans back.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

My favorite show is Blue Bloods and I would love to see some of those actors do Trek.

(Len Cariou is, AFAIK, the only one who has actually done it. He played Janeway's father on VOY)

Nazneen Contractor

She played Rina Harewood in Star Trek Into Darkness

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Antony Starr
Ming-Na Wen
Pedro Pascal
Holt McCallany
and Nicolas Cage as a batshit crazy Starfleet admiral

 

[fireproof78]

Nicolas Cage as a batshit crazy Starfleet admiral

 

[CorporalClegg]

He was never the biggest Captain Harriman fan, either.

"Not the B!!"

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Nicolas Cage in Star Trek would be glorious.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

In the Voyager relaunch novels there is a ship's counselor named Hugh Cambridge who was, IIRC, written with Hugh Laurie in mind.

Now THAT I'd like to see. House as a counselor.

if Thunberg's interested and it can be set up in a way she's ethically comfortable with?

Not that I'd ever in a million years want Greta Thunberg to turn up on Trek...but what would be "unethical" about doing a cameo like that?

Pretty much any of the Murdoch Mysteries regulars.

I'd like to see Yannick Bisson turn up on Law & Order as a visiting Canadian detective who helps the squad solve a case....and regales them with tales of his great-grandfather...

 

[Bornin1980something]

Not that I'd ever in a million years want Greta Thunberg to turn up on Trek...but what would be "unethical" about doing a cameo like that?

She refuses to fly under any circumstances. It would be a long sea voyage for a small part.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

She refuses to fly under any circumstances. It would be a long sea voyage for a small part.

Indeed.

So how did her name come up in the first place? Is she a Trek fan?

 

[XCV330]

Matt Berry as the voice of a starship computer, preferably the one that Ash Tyler has to fly.

 

[tomalak301]

I want to see Katee Sackhoff and Tatiana Maslany in a Star Trek series. I was not all impressed with She-Hulk, but I loved Maslany in Orphan Black and Sackhoff in BSG and The Flash and Mandalorian were great. I would love to see them in my favorite Franchise.

 

[flandry84]

Kate Sackoff ..great suggestion.

 

[USS Artorius]

I would love to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan play an Admiral who goes rogue and betrays the federation! SPOILER ALERT FOR THE WALKING DEAD... His performance as Negan in The Walking Dead just shows how much range he has as an actor, going from the completely unhinged but calculating love-to-hate psychopath who just gets a kick from murder, and then we see him as almost remorseful for his actions and draws a line in the sand under his Negan Persona and from then on while he still has that aura about him, his acting does come off as sincere towards the end. I can imagine him in a red Picard-Style admirals uniform or ordering Kirk around in the upcoming Strange New Worlds spin off.

Jensen Ackles would also be a neat cameo character as a pirate or some such, as he is a self-confessed Star Trek fan, and funnily enough him and Morgan both starred together in Supernatural.

 

[USS Artorius]

Benedict Wong.

Gong Yoo.

Karen Gillan.

Giancarlo Esposito.

Sophie Thatcher.

I could see Karen Gillan as an orion slave girl who turns out to be running some massive criminal operation and using the slave girl alias to negate suspicion. Her acting in Doctor Who and Marvel shows she definitely has the chops for it!

 

[johnjm22]

Anya Taylor Joy

She'd make a great alien.
