Chris Pine Says He is Ready for Star Trek Fame as the New James T. Kirk

Features

By GustavoLeao / 03:57, 1 August 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

National Ledger posted a brief interview with Star Trek star Chris Pine, the new James T. Kirk. Here is an excerpt of the article.

Pine says he's ready to ride the tsunami of attention -- and loss of privacy -- sure to come his way next year when he's seen as James T. Kirk in J.J. Abrams' re-imagined "Star Trek" movie. "It's definitely something I thought about upon taking something like 'Star Trek,'" says the 27-year-old actor.  "There's a certain price one pays for being able to act, which is what I've chosen to do, and a certain price to get to that position where one is able to get more opportunities, to be picky, to say yes and no, and be particular."

The full interview is here.

I agree. If I recall correctly, to take the role, he had to remove himself from a pretty high-profile project, White Jazz, where he would have been on the bill with George Clooney. He really lucked out, too, since Clooney has removed himself from that project and it's on hold. But the point is, he and his agent obviously thought this through, he's from a Hollywood family, and clearly knows whereof he speaks.

He strikes me as a smart, hip, sexy guy. I think he has every right to expect this to be a breakout role.
