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

Was that Moses in the The 10 Commandments?

Were those Union and Confederate soldiers in Gettysburg?

Was that Jesus in The Passion?

Are you for real?

If you gave me 10 years to contemplate any and all critiques to my post, and paid me to do so with generous bonuses for getting it right, I STILL would not have come up with an accusation such as you have made! First of all, it's a MOVIE....and I was referring to THE MOVIE, not the event. wow. How on earth did you miss that (well...maybe that's the answer right there).

Second, you do realize that you have accused me of being flippant with human life, right? Do you even KNOW what I do for a living? Since you don't, I'll just skip over the irony of this aspect.

Wow.

Sorry, but your comments seems woefully shortsighted as well as being misguided.

P.S., I assume that you were alive during this event, since you are so passionate so as to miss standard metaphors in favor of misplaced angst. As for me, my short little life was in the balance during those days too.

I would kindly urge you to consider making an appointment with a good proctologist to get whatever it is that prompted this remark removed, ASAP.

Wow.
