I really wish he had said "engage" the first time around, though.

chris pine just said asking for a star wars role would not be good for his career and I understand where he is coming from an actor in both franchises could ruin his career in future casting not to mention the confusion and jokes people will be making for it.
Probably the most relevant example is Ewan McGreggor, he was a similarly hot commodity in the mid-to-late nineties, and it's arguable that playing Obi-Wan in the prequels didn't exactly do wonders for his career.
Well, that happens a lot, because mostly actors like Pine are just average, and I don't even mean that in a negative way. They come and go. There are only a few standouts in a decade. Cumberbatch is one. His voice acting and his performance in Sherlock gets him places. But Pine? He's just the average pretty face with a couple of action comedies and a perfume commercial. Sam Worthington's flame extinguished already as well, even though he was supposed to be a big star with Avatar, Terminator and Clash of the Titans. Next one to vanish soon after a few big budget movies is Chris Pratt.Chris Pine has been running the big budget action comedy route and unfortunately may run into the same problem virtually every "hot commodity" actor and actress runs into: replacement by the next big thing.

Hum... I think Pratt has more talent and charm than all of those others, however. He may have more staying power.

That is true, but co-relation does not prove causation, and in the case of Ewan, he had tended to favor more 'edgy' or 'indie' films, so his appearance in the prequels was really an outlier.

Pine will be around for a long time.

Star Trek made its debut on television way back in 1966 with the episode "The Man Trap," a tale which saw Captain Kirk and his crew facing off against a deadly salt vampire (in space, no one can hear you season…). And now, almost half a century later, the crew of the USS Enterprise finds itself in another kind of trap altogether: Star Trek 3, the latest entry in the rebooted movie series starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, has recently become director-less and is reportedly undergoing behind-the-scenes creative upheaval even as the clock is running to get the film in front of cameras for the franchise’s 50th anniversary......
An interesting read and some details I never really connected before.
