"Hello, Trekkies. Look at your captain, now back to me, now back at your captain, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if we recast the role of Captain Sisko, he could be me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a space station with the man your captain could be. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s a commbadge with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now latinum. Anything is possible when your captain is me. I’m on the Defiant.”
 
I'm sure I've answered this question at least five times before. Let's see if I can dredge up my favorite answers from memory...

The Old Spice guy would be too err distracting as Sisko, but here's a brainstorm: what if he were Dukat!?!

Sisko: Esai Morales
Kira: Kristin Bell
Jadzia Dax: Janina Gavankar
Odo: Eric Stolz
Dr. Bashir: Omid Abtahi
O'Brien: Bryan F. O'Byrne
Quark: Dominic Monaghan
Jake: Noah Gray-Cabey
Worf: Naveen Andrews
Female Founder: Betty White (brrrr...)
Weyoun: Michael Emerson
Dukat: Old Spice Guy (that's his actual name btw :D)
Kai Winn: Mary O'Donnell
Garak: Terry O'Quinn
Damar: Josh Holloway
 
We've already had a thread about this, so let's remember who we chose the last time.

My revised list:

Sisko: Eamonn Walker
Kira: Asia Argento (backup choice: Christina Cox)
Odo: John Noble
Jadzia Dax: Tricia Helfer
Miles O'Brien: James Nesbitt or Bryan F. O'Byrne
Julian Bashir: Karim Saleh
Quark: David Patrick Kelly
Jake: Noah Gray-Cabey
Worf: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
Garak: David Anders / Robert Knepper / John Glover
Dukat: Christopher Meloni
Damar: Dominic Purcell
Weyoun: Vincent Kartheiser or Michael Emerson
Female Founder: Mary McDonnell or Elizabeth Mitchell
Winn: ideally Elizabeth Mitchell if she was 20 years older, otherwise Mary McDonnell or Dianne Wiest (in full bitch mode a la The 10th Kingdom)
Martok: Yaphet Kotto
Rom: Willie Garson
Nog: Frankie Muniz
Ishka: Rhea Perlman
Brunt: Charles Martin Smith
Grand Nagus Zek: Michael J. Pollard (for a similar portrayal as Wallace Shawn's) or Danny De Vito (for a more badass version of Zek)
Leeta: Christina Hendricks

BTW Lance Reddick would be a good choice for Sisko if he weren't so tall, it would be just wrong to have Sisko tower over everyone including Worf, Dukat... (in my casting, he only wouldn't tower over Martok!).

I can see that. :lol:
 
Thanks! Let's see if Past Temis is smarter than Present Temis (I'm sure both are way smarter than Future Temis, once the eggnog starts wiping out brain cells :rofl:):

Here are the ones I'd revise and add:

O'Brien: Alan Tudyk
Ezri: Summer Glau
Quark: Michael Emerson
Weyoun: Vincent Kartheiser
Kasidy Yates: Gabrielle Union
Dukat: Adrian Pasdar, in case Old Spice Guy has his own sitcom by then as a globe-trotting lion tamer/CIA agent/astronaut (which I expect to be announced any day)
Female Founder: Michelle Forbes, in case Betty White is co-starring as Old Spice Guy's multi-billionaire sugar mama
New Romulan Character: Christopher Gorham
New Character TBD: Zachary Levi (I'll shoehorn him in somehow, even if I have to import him from Star Wars as a Jedi!)
 
Stealing from my list from the thread DevilEyes brought up.

Ben Sisko- Shemar Moore
Kira - Michelle Rodriguez
Miles- Jack Davenport
Bashir- Brendan Fraser
Odo- David Jason
Jadzia Dax- Sienna Miller
Quark- Eddie Griffin
Jake - Jaden Smith

Esai Morales seems to...bland IMO. From what I have seen of him in Caprica, I do not like. Sisko was a very Passionate and Caring individual, Esai Morales seems to lack those features, at least in his Performance in Caprica.

The rest I agree with lol.
 
SISKO- Faran Tahir

KIRA- Erica Cerra

ODO- Matt Frewer

QUARK- Danny DeVito

DAX-Grace Park

BASHIR- Kal Penn

WORF- Jason Momoa

O'BRIEN- Robert Arkins

JAKE- Some kid actor we've never seen before.

Check him out on Jericho.
 
Before I start, I do have the say that the original cast did such an amazing job that they seem almost impossible to replace.

Sisko: Lance Reddick
Kira: Michelle Forbes (she should've been in it in the first place.
Odo: Victor Garber
Jadzia Dax: Elizabeth Mitchell
Miles O'Brien: Joe Flanigan
Julian Bashir: James Callis
Quark: Peter MacNicol
Jake: Jaden Smith
Worf: Idris Elba
Garak: John Lithgow
Dukat: Ian McShane
Damar: Aidan Gillen
Weyoun: James Spader
Female Founder: Mary McDonnell
Winn: Glenn Close
Martok: Ron Perlman
Joseph Sisko: Sidney Poitier
Keiko O'Brien: Grace Park
Admiral Ross: Terry O'Quinn
Eddington: Kiefer Sutherland
Sloan: Quentin Tarantino
 
Terry O'Quinn as admiral Ross. You know that actor could play a Starfleet admiral well...
 
Sisko: Idris Elba
Kira: Anna Kendrick
O'Brien: Brian O'Byrne
Bashir: Ben Barnes
Dax: Alison Brie
Odo: Terry O'Quinn
Quark: Michael Emerson
Worf: Chiwetel Ejiofor
Dukat: Jon Hamm
Garak: David Anders
Leeta: Gemma Arterton
Rom: Dominic Monaghan
Weyoun: John Glover
 
I think Siddig's old enough to play the commander now.

Also O'brien should now be a grumpy Helen Mirren.

Jeffrey Combs as Garak?

I could see Jeff Goldblum as Rom (if he was shorter.)
