Karl Urban Talks Kirk-Spock-McCoy Triumvirate, Praises Chris Pine as Kirk

Features

Sci Fi Wire posted a new interview with Star Trek movie actor Karl Urban (McCoy) and here are few excerpts.

Some of your co-stars have met and picked the brains of their predecessors. If you'd had a chance to meet De Kelley, what might you have asked him?


Urban
: Oh, my God, I'd have had a whole plethora of questions for him, probably more pertaining to his experience of having 40 years of Star Trek in his life and what that was like. What an extraordinary actor. I really would have cherished the opportunity to meet him the way that Zach Quinto had the opportunity to meet and work with Leonard Nimoy.


You mentioned the Kirk-Spock-McCoy triumvirate. This story is early days for the crew, so how much of that do we get, and how did you enjoy working with Pine and Quinto?


Urban
: The triumvirate as it sort of classically came to be formed in the series is really just in its genesis in this movie. You only really get a hint of [it]. The characters are introduced and thrown into a horrendous situation. So it's definitely the stepping-off point for that. But I had the most fantastic time working on this film, in particular working with Chris Pine, who I think is just an extraordinarily gifted young actor who has a stellar future ahead of him. This kid embodies James T. Kirk. He did not make the mistake of going in there and trying to imitate [original series star William] Shatner's vocal pattern or anything like that, but he is the very embodiment of Kirk. He's got it all. He's the complete package. I can't speak highly enough of him.

The full interview is here.

Plus, FirstShowing.net posted video interviews with Star Trek actors Eric Bana (Nero), John Cho (Sulu), Anton Yelchin (Chekov) and Bruce Greenwood (Pike).
