Well, Billie Piper never had such a horrible reputation, and her acting didn't really turn anyone off (not that I know of, anyway). Robbie Williams on the other hand... too many people all over the world hate him. I'm not one of them, I neither like, nor dislike him, but I don't think people would see "Kirk", they'd look at "Robbie Williams in disguise". That would kill the movie before it had any chance of establishing itself.

Quite. For the same reason Sean Connery would have been no good as Gandalf.

Well, I don't know. I saw "Ian McKellen in disguise" as Gandalf, but he still sold me on being Gandalf. That's what suspension of disbelief is about, even for the most recognizable of celebrities. Otherwise, the studios would never hire any famous actors, because they would take people right out of the story. In Indiana Jones, is that just Han Solo in disguise?
Sorry if this sounds like a rant, it's really not meant to be. (I'm not mad! ) I'm just a bit confused by that statement.

Total BS.
