I know him from The Tudors. I thought he was very good in that.

I have seen James Frain in lots of things. He is a good actor. This shall be interesting.

Excellent choice. He has the scowling look down.

 

[Hugo Rune]

He's an excellent character actor.

For all my misgivings about this show, they are putting together a fascinating set of actors/actresses.

Let's hope they get some good material to play with. Nothing worse than watching a talented cast wasting themselves on tortured rubbish

Hugo - looking at you, True Blood

Already a more promising choice than Ben Cross in ST'09. While I like Cross in general, his Sarek was more like "generic Vulcan #3". Quite bland and definitely a long shot from the level of awesome that Mark Lenard was (OTOH, Winona Ryder as Amanda was surprisingly good).
