People who would make convincing aliens in Trek

[I am not Spock]

The Olson twins, one klingon, one romulan. Let them play off against each other.

Romulan's are fairly slim, let the druggy twin be Romulan.

As for my pick for an alien: James Marsters as a Romulan. I think he'd be brilliant. He had auditioned for the part of Shinzon in Nemesis and I think he would've been a better choice.

James Marsters doesn't look anything like a young Patrick Steward. But that it seems wasn't one of the qualifications for the role.

Oooh! After his iconic Spike, and his guest spots in Torchwood and Smallville, I'm convinced Marsters would be great for Trek! That would be awesome! Apparently, he is a fan, so I think he'd do it. Or so I've read.

Just to avoid spamming the thread with lots of huge pics, I'm just going to send you over to my Trek art gallery, where you can see Jude Law, Claire Danes, Katee Sackhoff, Gina Torres and Marc Warren as various Trek aliens (these were manips done for RPG characters).

Jude Law is an Andorian chan, Katee Sackhoff is a shen, Warren is a thaan, Danes is a zhen, and Gina Torres is a Klingon.

Conan O'Brien would look good as an Andorian.

Some people who could play Ferengis (yep, shortness is a prerequisite ):
David Patrick Kelly
Charles Martin Smith
Michael J. Pollard
Rhea Perlman
Willie Garson
Frankie Muniz

here's how I cast them all in the fantasy DS9 recasting thread

[Sector 7]

With just a little makeup, Mel Gibson and his beard could easily pass for a Tellarite.

I can see that. After all, aren't the Tellarites PIG descendants?

Epic Fail. Everyone knows Obama is Vulcan (and a trekkie)!

Epic correct.

If Dear Leader Chairman Maobama were a Vulcan he would a retarded dropped on his head a few too many times idiot Vulcan.

I think Rhona Mitra would make a very sexy Vulcan or Romulan. And Charlotte Rampling could play her mother. They do look similar, don't they?

Oh, hell, with a little makeup he could pass for Saddam Hussein!
