Cast the Characters of Trek Literature

Yeah, I've got to agree that Claudia Black is way off for Soleta. She's not a bad actress, she's just not even close to how I picture the character. The two I've heard that I like best are either Jennifer Connolly, or Lucy Liu ( I have no idea why, but for some reason I tend to picture Vulcan's as Asian).
Claudia Black's completely wrong for Soleta. too tall and too ... angular. Soleta in the 2 NF comics has a much softer, rounder face.
GOD NO wrong look and a terrible actress
^Actualy Thiessen does a good job on White Collar.
i can't comment on CB's acting skills. never seen farscape or stargate when she was in them.
but, when you're adapting stuff, it generally helps to get someone who looks like the character's supposed to as well as someone who can act.
Hugh Jackman may be a foot too tall for Wolverine, but he otherwise looks the part and acts like an angry short guy.

In this case yes as Loyd will always be known as a Klingon.
I disagree.
And it would be weird to have a Trek actor cast in more than one Trek role...

As do I. And Doc Brown as Sonek Pran is perfect to me; it actually does make me like the character more too.
Kathy Bates for President Bacco is a good one. And while I do like the idea of Christopher Lloyd for Pran, I have to admit that when I picture and hear him he's pretty much Terry J. Erdman. If you can get ahold of the Fan Collective DVD collection that deals with alternate realities and whatnot he speaks on the featurettes about the different episodes.
She is, but (and I'll admit it's been a while so I maybe remembering the character wrong) I never really saw Soleta as that much of an agressive hothead. Plus, she just looks nothing like how I picture Soleta.
For whatever reason, I like to "cast" actors from TOS or who might realistically have appeared on TOS in TOS-era stories (excepting Vanguard).
When reading Ill Winds in Shards and Shadows, I imagined someone very similar to Diana Ewing (if perhaps somewhat more athletic than thin) as Sarah April:
(Apparently, Memory Alpha and I chose the same Droxine screencap.
