Don't you think nick frost would have been a better casting? Then give simon pegg another important role ?

Funny. Pegg has less hair than "the real" Scotty. But I guess there is movie magic for that kind of thing…

I guessed it was the other guy from those two movies, that would have made more sense.

Very funny. I have seen this photo on searchingmillionaire.com. It's a dating site for celebrities and wealthy people. Not sure who posted it there.

I guess Pegg & JJ hit it off when Pegg had a bit part in MI:III.

I think he'll be a great Scotty, but he needs to go to the Doohan website and get a dilithium crystal for more power.

I believe with a little hair dye and work on his scottish accent, Pegg may pull off a fair Scotty. Looking forward, just not sure if Pegg will make it.

He is blonde, BLONDE (well reddy blonde) english (not a scott) dont get me wrong love his films, and tv work, but he aitn scotty.

i agree with the post stating Paul McGillion would be gr8, firstly a gr8 actor and second scottish and third not blonde

Pegg will do a great job, he's got that look in his eyes. Now, I'm not sure about this casting of Kirk…could be good I guess…but, I think Ryan Reynolds would have been a good bet. The guy is nuts, just like Shatner.

I'm lovin' it, that Simon Pegg is playing Scotty! Mr. Pegg has the right personality, humor and look. I am very pleased with most of the picks for the new Star Trek crew.

Anyone who criticizes based on hair color, looks, etc. just needs to shut up. This is not "dress up your action figures and film them moving around while you fill in the voices". Nor is this one of your role playing games. This is a film, composed of a director and his choice of actors. Until you know something about acting, and interpreting a role from a script, I suggest you go play w/ your collectible action figures.

He's an excellent choice, b/c he'll bring something to the film that none of the other actors will- humor & character.

I heard that Chris Doohan, the son of James Doohan auditioned for the role of Pike.

karen on Nov 2, 2007

in regards to Djomiengott, i think that as an actor he will portray scotty very well, but to portray an already very well knowns chracter you need to at least look like the orignal character else the best actor in the world could not be believable!

As was said above Paul McGillion would have been a great choice.
