I'm pretty much in the same boat as Cymro, I really don't reconize these people other than Bones and Sulu. GREAT pick for McCoy,when I looked at the poster my eyes instantly went to him and I could actuallysee him in the role of McCoy.
Chekov... one of the things from the TOS days was that he always looked barely old enough to be in the academy, let alone be a graduate and helmsman. I would probly go with someone much younger looking than the guy you have now.
As far as Sulu, yeh... I agree with Cymro, I don't know hhs name, but I now his face from sci-fi shows, and kind of agee with the "token Asian sci-fi guy" remark. I'm kind of thinking B.D. Wong (Law & Order SVU) might make a good Sulu. He has that mixture of serious quality, only speaks up when needed, makes his point then moves on but able to crack a joke at the appropriate time as we know for Sulu. Plus, the guy in there now, most people's thought would be, 'oh, there's that Asian guy who does all the sci-fi stuff'. I think B.D. Wong would make people notice more, and would even be a good break-out role for him to show that he's capible of doing more than police/lawyer roles.
The pick for Uhra is great, even though I can't place her from anything, but it's nice to see that it's someone other than going with Hollywood's typical Hale Berry. I don't why all of a sudden they want to cast her in every role they can think of. I really don't think she's a very good actress.... about the only quality going for her is her face.
