HeraldSun.com.au posted a new interview with actor Eric Bana, in which he talks briefly about the role of Nero, the Romulan villain from the upcoming Star Trek movie prequel. Here is an excerpt from the article.

According to the site, Bana described the role as a cameo. "It's just a great character, it's J.J. Abrams. It's a really well-written script, great part. Couldn't say no. I don't actually look at the size of parts ever."

The full interview can be found here.

Wow, that would be genius. It is somewhat cryptic, how the Herald Sun quoted him without quoting him. I took the cameo comment as an off-the-cuff remark about the size of his role (he may not be that familiar with the dictionary definition). The later comment about not caring about the size would seem to support this view. That's how I'll take it for now.

But your supposition is intriguing. We were ever told the Romulan commander's actual name in "Balance of Terror", and he's got some dialogue that could, in retrospect, seem almost like deja vu familiarity with Kirk's tactics. And we know "Balance" was one of the more prominent touchstones for the writers.
