Audrid Dax, as of Sins of the Mother?

I went with Juliana Margulies (The Good Wife) as Audrid. The reserved but caring mother and professional just seemed the type.
Ken Leung as Torias Dax because he seemed the young and energetic type.
Emony was a gymnast, so how about Amy Jo Johnson?
Has anybody ever considered mentally casting themselves in a role?
^Yes. However, it's only in minor roles, such as 'USS Enterprise Operations Division Ensign'. Nothing especially grandiose!

Everybody risks Mary-Sueing themselves at some point. Not Trek, but I did cast myself as the lead terrorist in Destination Zero, just because if I was an actor I'd find that kind of character more fun to play.
As for casting myself in a role in somebody else's story that I'm reading, well, there's always the Doctor...

Try Enterprise Security Officer in a 5YM novel.
Mudang Harada
Lieutenant Commander
I would love to be an albino Klingon.
You wish to be a perpetually half-dead criminal madman on the run for terrorism, piracy and the murder of children?
Mudang Harada
Lieutenant Commander
He was deformed without ridges. Not a real albino.

I once based the main character in an original SF story on myself, only to be told by a beta reader that that character was bland and boring.Since then, I haven't dared try it.
I've mentally recast Janeway as Kirsten Beyer, which may sound strange, but I'm not fond of Kate Mulgrew. It was this photo that gave me the idea :

I love this idea. Never disliked Mulgrew, but I think Kirsten would make a great Janeway.
Samuel Anderson (Danny Pink from Doctor Who) would make a good Sam Bowers.
I will never not picture Sam Bowers as played by Terry Crews.
It's so wrong, I know, but also so very right.

I disagree with those options. I think Mirren and Dench's affects are both entirely too upper-class English. You need someone who's more abrasive/charismatic, salt-of-the-earth, American, or at least has that vibe. More of a working-class or middle-class vibe.
I still vote for Kathy Bates, m'self.
Every Human in Star Trek is US-American unless stated otherwise. Didn't you get the memo?
One, they're actresses, as you must be aware, they can change the way they talk and the accent they use.
Two, she isn't American, she wasn't even born on Earth was she? She was born on Cetus III and when ever someone from there has appeared, haven't they all for some reason had an "upper-class" English accent?
I don't particularly agree with Dame Helen Mirren as Bacco, but I don't see any reason why Dame Judi Dench couldn't play her.
