I know it's been done to death all over the internet but not here yet!

If you could choose any actor or actress to be in Star Trek who would you choose?

I recently saw that Nic Cage said he was a Trekkie and I'd absolutely love it if he played an insane alien villain of some sort for an episode or two. Get him in star trek legacy as a crazy ferenghi or something.

Keith David. He was great in the outer limits and men at work, and i always wanted to see him captain a starfleet ship.

I mean he's Admiral Anderson in what's considered the best "not star trek" star trek videogame of all time. Close enough for me.

It's just not the same without the crazy eyes and facial expressions.

I know I've seen him in a million and one things both before and since, but to me he will always be the voice of Goliath.

Considering the rest of the cast of Gargoyles was a Star Trek reunion, it seems only fitting that he be in the franchise somewhere.
