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

Pittsburgh Post Gazzette posted a new interview with Star Trek actor Bruce Greenwood (Captain Pike) and here are few excerpts.
Q: As a kid did you get into science fiction?
A: When I was a very young boy there was a series of Tom Swift novels that I really liked, and then I got into Jules Verne. Then I kind of left science fiction behind for the most part. I was in a couple of small science fiction-ish movies and a couple of big ones, and "I Robot" would be science fiction. I watched "Star Trek" when I was kid.
Q: Your "Star Trek" character was not on very much in the original series.
A: Two episodes. Jeffrey Hunter originated the role. He was originally in the pilot and then the pilot was turned into a two-part episode in which he appeared. The Pike that I play and the Pike that Hunter was charged with playing have very different dilemmas. Hunter's Pike had this internal dilemma of not knowing if he wanted to continue with Star Fleet. My Pike's dilemma is whether or not to take a chance on a young man named James T. Kirk.
Q: Was the set extraordinary?
A: Superb, just superb. You know, hyperbole doesn't do it justice. It's just a phenomenal coming together of art direction and set design and ergonomics and functionality and fantasy that was exquisite to be part of.
Q: So walking on the bridge of the Enterprise is like getting in costume.
A: It was a total mind bender. You believe for a second you are about to press a button and go shooting through time. Of course, you just end up at the commissary. It's all a big letdown. It's fun when you press the button and then you realize your finger is off the button and you are just back in your trailer. It's kind of like "Oh, wow! What happened?" No, it was really, really fun and tremendously evocative.
