That's not a Taiwanese character.
I would think an Oriental (are we really using that word
) actor would be happy enough to have a good job that he probably wouldn't worry too much about where the character was born...
Benicio Del Toro to be the villain in the Star Trek sequel?

Well, he did make THE WOLFMAN remember?
I think I will judge the final product when it hits the screens.
Because sometimes the Screen Actors Guild can't supply a suitable candidate who's available to audition.
When they wanted to cast Bashir's mother in DS9, there were no actresses registered who fitted the scripted ancestry. They eventually located a university lecturer who had sufficient experience as a public speaker to have a go at the role.
Ricardo Montalban was Mexican and played (very well) an Asian character. But I don´t believe in the return of Khan. Del Toro may play a Klingon, but maybe he has a role as a Klingon we do not know. Abrams would not kill Kor or Koloth. They are classic characters.
Who said anything about killing? The Klingon baddie with the big hair survived STV just fine.
The Klingon baddie with the big hair in STV? He was the one who should die. kkkkk
My guess is that Del Toro will play a different character that we do not know. It could be a Klingon, but not the classics. I think Khan unlikely.
For me, Del Toro's character dies at the end
I find this highly offensive to the Klingon society. Only humans with Klingon ancestry should be allowed to play Klingons on screen.
I was thinking the same thing.
I do think that del Toro will be Kor and that does not necessarily mean that Kor will die at the end. After all Kor lived happily until the DS9 era in the prime universe. Also, that does not necessarily mean that Kor will be a villain per se. Kor was orignally designed to be the Klingon version of Kirk, I can see them work together in some form.
I just want him to play the role in the vein of his Fenster in The Usual Suspects. Every time he speaks in that incomprehensible mumble, Kirk and Spock should look at each other blankly and go 'Huh?' and the Universal Translator should explode. I'd go and see it about 100 times if they did this.
Star Trek is an international phenomenon. I don't think "domestic" or "overseas" differs that much.
Saldana's parents hail from the West Indies, which was a favored slave trading route in the 18th century.Hey, why not? We've already got a Latin American actress playing an African character.
I was thinking Chang. We might find out how he lost that eye.He'd be great... as Khan.
That was my first thought when I saw it.
playing with pointy sticks at a very young age...
CaptainJack
Lieutenant Commander
I dont think he has to. Have you seen his face?
Yes! NuKahn! I can't wait! Or a klingon, but I really prefer nuKahn as the next villain.
It's Abrams' movie and he can do whatever he wants with them. Even if these characters were in ST XII and were killed it's an alternate universe and has no affect on prime Kol or prime Koloth.
