I watched it and I still don't know who Dolph Lundgren is. Anyway at first I thought Rob Lowe could be Calhoun, I also think Alexander Siddig would make a great Calhoun. That tall green guy, Lt. Zak Kebron could be played by the guy who played Jake in The Visitor. Lt. Soleta the other main Vulcan looks like that lady from Futures End. Your right McHenry does look like Timberlake.

And, er, that film he was in with Courtney Cox, Robert Duncan McNeill, and that woman who plays Monica's mum.
You know the one. Possibly the greatest sci-fi film of all time.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

No you can't just get anybody. You need someone who fits the character. That's what Trek lacks today. TOS was cast down to the bone, you couldn't imagine anyone else playing Spock or Scotty even Chekov. With the exception of Uhura. TNG was also cast well cast. DS9 had was well cast except for Dax. With VOY someone else could play Harry, Neelix, Kes, Chakotay (they could of got a real indian). From the looks of the trailer I could see Ming Na playing Sato and I don't think that's far off.

Well, he sorta has a point. Though if the actor is good enough, then the statement becomes mute.
Some actors/actresses just aren't good enough to go beyond one type of character. If anybody has ever seen the Brian Denneghy version of Death of a Salesman (as oppossed to roles where he played military leaers or the like), then you'll know what I mean.

Thats true.. if someone else had played ANY of those roles, you would be saying THEY were the one that no one else could replace. Its simply because for 30+ years now, people have seen them in those roles. Same with any of the other casts. Janeway was supposed to be Gennivive Bujold. (sp?) If that had worked out, would anyone here say "Oh, you know, I think that that semi unknown actress Kate Melgrew would have made a better janeway." (I say semi unknown, because without being in Trek, truely how many of us would even know her name?)

Each actor brings something new and different to every chartacter and the series. If Gennivive Bujold wouldn't have walked out because of to much technobabble ( It's trek what do you expect) it would change the dynamic of the show. Mulgrew played Janeway gritty and rugged but still was attractive.
Where is if Gennivive Bujold played Aunt Kathy it would make different story lines differet views and ideals. If Mel Gibson got the role of Picard Next Generation would be a whole different experience.

Back when they were going to have Voyager be a relic from the Cardassian Wars Janeway was going to be a man. Forget who they were going to get to play him, though. He's a relatively well-known actor, I think...
