And McCoy will be played by...
- Thread starter Admiral Buzzkill
- Start date
I don't think I've seen this guy in anything other than Doom and I can't remember what his performance was like because the film was so shite.
Unlike everyone else apparently, I don't have a problem with this choice. Urban has the same kind of wide face Kelley had, and I think he'll be able to slide into the role pretty well.
Frankly I'm surprised at the calibre of cast Abrams has put together. Regardless of whether you think they're the right choices, at least he found some quality actors and not a bunch of generic lookalikes.

I like Urban. I even liked him in "Privateers." I'm sure he'll do fine as "danger-loving" McCoy. 
Interesting. I enjoyed him in Xena, Hercules, The Bourne Supremacy, and, of course, The Lord of the Rings (which I wouldn't call a small role). However, he isn't my first choice for the role, but then my first choice is 17 years older (Gary Sinise).

Sinise would have been fine if they were remaking, say, TMP. But this is pre-TOS, and he would look way too old for that time period, let alone standing next to the rest of this young cast.
I thought Urban was great in The Bourne Supremacy and LOTR. I'm very interested to see how he plays McCoy (I don't expect a DeForest impression).
Maybe it's because he happens to be in the kind of films I watch, but I would've thought he's too big to play him. I thought the idea was to cast virtual unknowns as the main crew, so they could be used in sequels. I just don't want Trek XII to have to recast some parts.
Anyway, for now, this is an interesting crew. Now, let's get the promo photoshoots done! Let's see them in uniform!

Yes, very true. Stupid age thing. Sinise would have been perfect.davejames said:

Plus, I want him to quit crappy CSI: NY and get back to doing movies.
Eomer as Bones. Hmmmm...

I can't believe his full first name is Karl-Heinz 
On topic: he'll be ok as bones.

He should lose a ton of weight like Christian Bale did in "The Machinist."
Then we'll know where he got his nickname.
