He has been cast as Chin Ho Kelly, a detective played by Kam Fong in the original series, which began in 1968.

"The Forge" kicks off a three-episode Vulcan Reformation arc later this fall on STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE (story). In that episode, we learn after the bombing of an Earth embassy on Vulcan and the killing of an 'Ambassador Forrest' that a group of Vulcans in the desert have started a cult around a man who claims to have found the actual remains of the Vulcan philosopher 'Surak'.
In the second installment in the arc, currently untitled, TrekWeb has learned that at least two Vulcan notables will make an appearance. 'T'Pau', seen in TOS's "Amok Time" and played then by Celia Lovsky, is one guest role that Paramount is now casting for the episode. T'Pau is one of Vulcan's most revered leaders and the only person to turn down a seat on the Federation Council according to TREK lore. T'Pau was rumored to be the character eventually turned into 'T'Pol' on ENTERPRISE, due to legalities surrounding the creation of the T'Pau character.
Another famous Vulcan we'll see in the flesh (or in some way, shape, or form) on ENTERPRISE this season is 'Surak' himself, the founder of the Vulcan philosophy of logic, and whose teachings delivered Vulcan from an era of vicious war and violence. A facsimille of Surak was seen in TOS's "The Savage Curtain." According to rumor, 'Syrran' is a Vulcan that 'Archer' meets in the Vulcan desert and who helps guide the Vulcan of the prequel era back toward Surak's teachings.
Another role they're looking to fill for this episode is 'Kurak'. This is also the name of a female Klingon warp-scientist to appear in TNG's "Suspicions." No further information about the role ENT is looking to fill is available, but there has been no indication of any Klingon involvement in the Vulcan arc.
Stay with TrekWeb for more information as it becomes available. The episode in question will likely go before cameras next week, and air in November.

Considering ENT's abuse of Vulcans, including Manny Coto's treatment of T'Pol in S3, this special attention to the species may be a disaster. Vulcans are a Trek icon, thanks to Spock; if S4 further mutilates the archetype, ENT may go from being a laughing stock to being seriously despised by Star Trek fans.
