According to the Hollywood Reporter, 51-year-old actor Bruce Greenwood will play the role of Captain Christopher Pike in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie prequel. The character of Pike will have an important role in the new prequel.

Actor Josh Lucas (Poseidon) was rumored to being considered for the role of Captain Pike.

Greenwood, repped by Gersh and Binder Entertainment, plays two roles in Todd Haynes' I'm Not There and appears in National Treasure: Book of Secrets. He starred in the science-fiction movies Deja Vu, I, Robot and The Core, and the short-lived TV series Nowhere Man, which aired on UPN aired from 1995 to 1996.

Christopher Pike was captain of the starship Enterprise for many years, as the immediate predecessor to later Captain James T. Kirk, and succeeding Captain Robert April. He was played by the late Jeffrey Hunter in the 1964 pilot The Cage. Actor Sean Kenney portrayed a disfigured Pike in the two-part first season episode, "The Menagerie", - a episode which will be showing in HD in theaters across North America and Europe this month

I'm sorry - the "Cuban crisis flick?" Could we maybe NOT refer to the closest the world ever came to nuclear holocost so light heartedly?
