Actors for your crew...

I've started playing again recently, haven't gotten much done since I'm busy with other things, mainly painting a 2,000 Point Ork Army for Warhammer 40,000 that I have to get finished before July so I can go to a tournament at my local gaming store.


Anyway, here's a question from me:
If your ship in STO had it's own TV series, what actor would you have play each member of your main crew? It can be any actor that you know off, not limited to Sci-Fi Actors.

Currently, I don't much much of a crew and will be posting my answer once I reach Level 10.

    I was nearly eaten by a "grew" once while fumbling in the dark. :P


    Well, if you glance at my avatar to see my Fed admiral, (who is looking overly youthful, I suppose) I'm thinking Damian Lewis to play my main character.

    Possibly Claire Danes as my human first officer

    Scott Caan as my feisty Andorian second officer and chief engineer

    Colin Donnell (currently on "Arrow") as my Bajoran security chief

    Justin Bartha (of "National Treasure" fame) as my Betazed medic

    Tongayi Chirisa (from short-lived TV show "Crusoe") in whatever junior BOFF I could create. The man has acting chops. Probably add a BOFF from the United States of Africa.

    I'd like to find a spot for Philip Winchester (also of "Crusoe") as well, if I could.

    The rest of the junior BOFFs I'd probably cast from promising undiscovered talent. I'd make a point though, of casting those rolls from around the globe.

    I'm keeping my choice to sci-fi and fantasy actors

    For my captain-either Ben Browder or Brian J Smith , reason being my captain is the youngest captain in the fleet, also likes to wise crack every so often

    My Vulcan First officer- Lena Headey, she's consistent all round

    My Human science officer- Elyse Levesque, my sci boff incidentally looks like her plus she was brilliant in season 2 of SGU

    My Orion CMO- Emilia Clarke from game of thrones, she'd look smoking in green :D

    My Jem'Hadar- easy choice here, Chris Judge

    My Human engineer- Rose Bryne

    My Reman outcast- Micheal Fassbender

    My Breen- Jason Momoa

    And finally my Liberated Borg- Summer Glau

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      In all honesty, I haven't given this topic much thought. That said, here are some of my picks.

      For my Federation crew:

      Arkos Nair- Peter Wingfield or John Barrowman
      K'Nera- Katee Sackhoff
      Neiazri Sann- Anna Torv
      Adim- Kevin McKidd
      Farim Meru- Gina Torres
      Dr. Choll (soon to appear in a future LC)- David Hewlett or Wayne Pygram
      Brax (also to appear in a future LC)- Patton Oswalt


      That's it for now. I'm still deciding on casting choices for the crew of the I.K.S. Notqa, and for Ta'nara, and I think even my Federation roster might be subject to change.

      A lot of those are pretty much who I'd pick, BUT, as much as I love SUmmer GLau she seems to have a bad spectre following her around and the show would be cancelled after two seasons.

      :D

      I love Anna Torv, but I honestly can't see her playing to Sann's sense of humor. I think Kate Bosworth would work nicely, though.

      As for Lynathru, I read him as Mark Strong all the way.

      *Deinons are a not-well-known race of sentient dromaeosaurids (think the Raptors from Jurassic Park) who are provisional Federation members. Bred to be the ultimate soldiers, they live in seclusion but sell their abilities and services in exchange for commissioned works of art, being incapable of any creative or artistic process themselves. Rusty was the product of a Dominion genetic experiment and hatched orphaned. Adopted and raised by Jesu LaRoca's father, he protects Jesu with fierce devotion.

      **Pentaxians are the race created by marcusdkane.

      ***That actually is my pet leopard shark, Rudyard. :cool:

      Hmm, Kate Bosworth is an interesting choice, and admittedly a much better one than Anna Torv.

      As for Lynathru...I actually had considered Mark Strong at first, though I thought against him because he didn't fit the smarmy, self-serving persona I have in mind for Lynathru. But now that I've given the matter some thought, Mark Strong actually is a really good choice (especially since he's proven he can play smarmy quite well in Kick-TRIBBLE.) My secondary choice for Lynathru, though, would probably be Christopher Eccleston.

      As for Ta'nara...the problem is thinking of an actress who can pull off ruthless, intelligent badassery well enough (other than Claudia Black or Lena Headey, that is).

      I agree with theraven and would have my Liberated Borg be played by Summer Glau as well.
      I think my human tac officer would be played by Kate Beckinsale.
      Not really sure on any of my other crew.
