Bruce Greenwood is the new Pike!!!

That is a fantastic piece of casting! :D

I never would have thought of him as Pike but he fits the part so well.

Another spot-on for Abrams and his crew. :thumbsup:
 
Great. Bruce Greenwood is money in the bank. Kind of a left-field character-actor choice, though; I thought the original plan was to get a big name for Pike.

I know this is kinda weird to say, especially this soon, but now that I know he has been cast, I can't see anyone else in the role but him :D

I was going to say that I thought he had the right look for the role, not a physical match as you say but he looks like he'd bring across the sort of authority that Jeffrey Hunter did.
 
He would be about the age Pike was when Kirk took command of the Enterprise.

I never would have thought of Greenwood. But now its just seems perfect!
 
Whaddaya mean, "wrong costume?" I thought you said it was set on a spaceship!

Good choice. Now I just need the next year to get the nasty aftertaste of John from Cincinatti out of my brain.
 
Judging by his age, I'd say we'll see Pike around the time he gives command of the Enterprise to Kirk (rather then the time of the cage). It will be interesting to see the contrast between the seasoned captain and the green young captain.
 
When did Pike's exposition to Delta rays occur? After he *relinquished* his command of the Enterprise or is it during his captaincy?

After his captaincy.
