Here are a few that are established but maybe not as well known as the OP is thinking of - I’m not proposing specific roles because I’m open to all kinds of new and interesting original characters. Just make them competent.
- Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek)
- Anya Taylor-Joy (Queen’s Gambit)
- Katee Sackoff (BSG)
- Trisha Hefler (also BSG)
- Tim Rozon (Wynonna Earp, Surreal Estate)
- Graham Greene (Oscar nominated in Dances with Wolves, recently in Last of Us)
- Abigail Spencer (Timeless)
In terms of higher profile actors:
- Zendaya
- Simu Liu
- Ryan Gosling
Snoop Dogg has a giant star trek painting at his house. It showed up on a tv show couple years ago.
https://www.dailystartreknews.com/read/star-trek-parody-film-unbelievable-picked-up-for-domestic-distribution-features-40-trek-actors-plus-snoop-dogg
Snoop as any alien character. Would make a cool ferengi i? Yes. Could he be a Cardassian? Absolutely. Iggy Pop was a Vorta, snoop could definitely not be a Vorta. They have no chill. What about being Beckett Mariners grandfather, and get Martha Stewart to be her grandma.
I can hear her now " Jesus, is this like the the Roshenkos showed up bothering Worf"
Ted Danson as a retired professional Parrises Squares player who opens up a bar on DS9 that directly compete with Quark’s. Morn starts hanging out there instead. Hilarity ensues.
You know, that would be hilarious, especially because so many people would expect him to just be a complete comedic character, but his serious roles are incredible, like The Spy, and I would love for him to just be completely serious the whole time
yes, his range, gravitas, comedic chops, and comfort with makeup & accents that made me choose him. He could play a human or any other species, and he would kill it in comedic episodes as well as dramatic episodes or even horror episodes.
Ideally I imagine he could play a section 31 spy who the crew keep encountering deep undercover among various worlds
Mark Hamill as a captain.
Not simply because he was in Star Wars, just because as a human being, he just strikes me as having the morals of a guy like Picard.
Just a really cool guy.
He's either the captain of an independently owned freighter or an overeager Starfleet lieutenant who managed to get an exception and got into the Academy despite his age.
Peter Capaldi as an extremely grumpy but generally pretty good Admiral. And use the lack of censorship in Modern Trek to let him curse a bunch when calling out captains on their bullshit
Oh God, now I want a "The Thick Of It" style Trek comedy series. Capaldi can be a roaming Ambassador, whose underlings and crew of the week need to keep fixing his gaffs. Make him a Tellarite, or Tellarite hybrid, and it'd be perfect!
Just throwing in a couple of Aussie actors.
Hugh Jackman - Probably not a lead role, maybe as a support/guest role like ships councillor or Ambassador to the UFP
Hugo Weaving - If you want him sinister, he could be an El-Aurian who’s seen enough and wants to end the UFP. If you want him good, maybe a Romulan Ambassador to the UFP.
Margot Robbie - Security Officer, I feel like she can bring out angry energy and be willing to fight.
Sam Neil (Yeah I know he’s a Kiwi) - A retired Admiral who occasionally teaches at the Academy.
Simon Baker - Helmsman, but kinda like a Tom Paris, Ace Pilot, man of the people kinda guy.
Ben Mendelsohn - A Badmiral waiting to seize the opportunity to strike.
Yvonne Strahovski - [Redacted by Section 31]
But not reprising their previous roles.
Christopher Judge - Chief Engineer
Amanda Tapping - Transporter Chief
Michael Shanks - Tactical Officer
Richard Dean Anderson - Chief Medical Officer (Like a grumpy McCoy or sarcastic Dr T’ana)
Ben Bowder - Science Officer
Claudia Black - Second Officer
Beau Bridges - Ship councillor / Ship Chef
Garry Jones - Captain
Eddie Murphy - was supposed to be in voyage home but didn’t want to do a “Eddie Murphy in space” so he didn’t make it in. Huge life long Star Trek fan.
Also in up the long ladder those clones look like Eddie Murphy (wasn’t him).
Also any Indian actor playing an actual Indian character with an Indian name.
I'm really seeing Star Trek as a genre now, not specific shows or IP. Lower decks is an animated comedy, Galaxy Quest, The Orville... I'd love to see that Quentin Tarantino movie. Star Trek is a space opera, it's a whole world full of good and bad and joy and pain, it's fun to look at other elements, not just the pride of the fleet.
Between existing sets, CGI, green screens, they could probably do a SB80 comedy with Ben Stiller fairly cheap too.
I'd like to see Keith David -- ideally not as a Klingon, that's too obvious. He'd make a fantastic Federation officer, growling angry lines from the bridge at the enemy of the week.
I think we need to cast and crew the USS Meta. A ship staffed by inside joke character from non Star Trek rolls.
Nathan Fillion as the Captain makes a comment about how he is going to keep the ship flying.
The Rock as aVulcan says “fascinating” and raises the people’s eyebrow.
Sigourney Weaver is the Coms officer who only gets to repeat what others are saying.
Hugh Laurie is a pleasent and caring CMO.
That type of thing.
Jensen Ackles as really anything, but after watching his performance as Soldier Boy in The Boys, I think he’d make a great villain maybe in an AOS movie if we ever get another one.
Salma Hayek as a counselor (ala Deanna Troi)...possibly on a new series with Shaw and 7 of 9.
EDIT: Also, Emilie de Ravin and Phoebe Tonkin as part of the main cast.
Honestly I could see Ke Huy Quan as a really nerdy scientist who had some odd obsession with a strange phenomenon or as a romantic foil to a really uptight character.
I’d actually like to see Margot Robbie playing a transporter chief who is always certain she’s going to make a mistake and freaks people out as they’re about to use the transporter.
Kate McKinnon as a human that got kidnapped by some non-human species who return her as she’s insanely annoying and never stopped talking and asking questions.
He's getting a bit old for it now, but Sean Bean as a MACO officer.
Darragh O'Malley as his sergeant.
A selection of misfits as a rifle section that has impact out of all proportion to the size of the group.
Oh, and Sean's a working class Yorkshireman with a chip on his shoulder about it!
Anthony Anderson from Law and Order and Black-ish as an investigator in the Security branch of Starfleet solving crimes within the Federation. Like NCIS but with photon torpedoes!
Elyse Marie Levesque —as an Android specialist (maybe she could repair Picard or other Androids)
Michael Shanks — as a leader of the Q continuum and explains how they evolve into Q from other species | that or as a Pahwraith.
Evanna Lynch—as a member of an evolved species that uses science in a way that appears like Magic and rejects joining the UFP
Adria Arjona Torres—as a New Dax Symbiot after Ezri dies (or another Trill altogether that becomes Ezri’s wife)
> I’d also like to see Ben Stiller play either a Starfleet Academy Administrator or the Commander of a star base, who’s teetering on the edge of being overwhelmed.
Not to crap on your post but Trek has a pretty specific tone, even in comedic episodes like the Tribble-based ones that it doesn’t get too far from, and Stiller-comedy has a pretty pronounced tone and those two tones would be…discordant if mixed. I’m not sure overwhelmed Commander Ben Stiller fits well with ST.
Ben Stiller can play serious roles, he’s done his fair share of it. I’m not picturing “Meet the Parents” or “Tropic Thunder” Ben Stiller, I’m picturing his roles like “Greenberg” or “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”.
That's fair I guess, I haven't really seen those (and sort of assumed TSLWM was a comedy as well?), when people talk about wanting Ben Stiller to play X role I tend to assume they mean in his comedic persona but I guess if you didn't that's on me for assuming.
Way back in the day he played kind of a psycho in Hot Pursuit. He’s got more range than people know.
He’s also a big Trekkie so I’m sure he understands the tone to use.
Just play it like a live action Lower Decks movie. He is normally a fairly well respected Lt Commander, but for whatever reason a bizarre string of events leads him on some wild adventure on Starbase 1 or wherever. I mean, would Night at the Museum but at the fleet museum not be fun? The hologram system on the station becomes sentient and leads him on a wild night through star trek history. in the end its a draw and he agrees to not report the AI, and they become friends. Same ol story, just set in a star trek world.
Seth MacFarlane as the captain of a ship full of Starfleet second stringers, whose barely marginal competence and lack of dedication causes headaches to the main cast, despite never actually doing anything technically wrong.
Plausible casting?
I’d like to see Clarke Peters as a Starfleet admiral, Paul Giamatti as a crooked Ferengi captain, Adrian Pasdar as a human arms dealer, and Richard Karn as a incredibly malicious Pakled
Raul Esparza as CMO.
Catherine Tate as Chief Engineer.
Since Terry Matalas is putting all his 12 Monkeys actors in Picard, I'd like to see Emily Hampshire in a role.
I'd love to see
Mariska Hargitay as the captain of a deep space exploratory vessel.
Patton Oswalt as a Tellarite, a Chief Science Officer.
Christina Ricci as a Deltan-Betaxoid Medical Officer.
Jason Momoa as Gunnaz, an Orion Chief of Security.
Aubrey Plaza as Romulan Intelligence Officer Effis Yuhne
Maria Bamford as the Lady Natira IV, Federation Ambassador for New Yonada.
John Mulaney as Q, aka Q-Lite.
Al Franken as Ferengi Starfleet Admiral Nok-Gnok.
Suzy Eddie Izzard as an Andorian Diplomat with poor social skills.
Matt Berry as King Loosfitty Undapahnz III, Sovereign of Ditty 3 and its 99 Protectorate Moons.
Kate McKinnon as the Don Zeppo, Cartel Overboss of Okmyx (aka Sigma Iotia II).
Sigourney Weaver as Half-Klingon Fleet Admiral Vrorr of the House Kghull.
Christina Hendricks in any role involving a Starfleet uniform.
I’ll throw in an actor who’s long since passed but I would have loved to have seen Peter Falk play an investigator looking into how Sisko got the Romulans into the war.
CAPT Morgan Bateson (ret) leaves the service, and goes back to school. He specalizes in helping other people out-of-time, using his new psychiatry degree.
Charles Dance would be excellent as a Romulan. Or a Cardassian. Or a human captain.
John C. Reilly would make a good Klingon.
Alan Tudyk would make a good... anything, really. He's probably best as a scoundrel or rogue type character.
Brendan Fraser would be superb as a nearly respectable member of the Q continuum.
* Will Smith as a tyranical ruler of an alien world
* Mia Khalifa as helmsman
* Tom Hanks as a federation ambassador
* Jamie lee Curtis as a stubborn ambassador
The entire cast of The West Wing on the bridge of a starship:
Captain - Martin Sheen
XO - John Spencer
Chief Engineer - Richard Schiff
Ops - Bradley Whitford
CMO - Janel Maloney
Science - Rob Lowe
Tactical - Anna Deaveare Smith
Helm - Dule Hill
Pedro Pascal as a refugee father trying des to get his kid to safety. I think it would be a wholly original casting and give Pascal a chance as an actor to try something new. 😏
Danny Devito as the new Grand Nagus
This.
so anyways i started blasting
Imagine an episode of the gang from Always Sunny but they are all Farengi
It’s Always Rainy On Feringinar
This is the way
I mean Rom is already the Grand Nagus, so a jeffery combs style coup?
Edward James Olmos. Admiral.
Well I’m already expecting the fact that >!Frontier Day will be a Cylon attack on ~~the Twelve Colonies~~ Frontier Day, which will be easier given all ships are networked. Only the museum ships will be immune…!< seems like perfect time for Adama. After all, All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.
So say we all
It would be so cool if that happened.
First person I thought of too. Admiral Adama wouldn't be a bad fit in Starfleet.
Excellent idea!
Mila Kunis has talked about how much of a fan she was, so a role for her would be nice. I think Rosario Dawson has also expressed interest in Star Trek as well.
Dawson would make a great villain.
I could see Mila doing a part on Lower Decks as a captain bad mom tie in. She knows the voice acting so it’ll access new fan bases for Trek
Dawson is a legit geek and deserves to have a place in star trek https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/ui1xah/rosario_dawsons_reaction_to_seeing_mark_hamill_on/
Here are a few that are established but maybe not as well known as the OP is thinking of - I’m not proposing specific roles because I’m open to all kinds of new and interesting original characters. Just make them competent. - Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek) - Anya Taylor-Joy (Queen’s Gambit) - Katee Sackoff (BSG) - Trisha Hefler (also BSG) - Tim Rozon (Wynonna Earp, Surreal Estate) - Graham Greene (Oscar nominated in Dances with Wolves, recently in Last of Us) - Abigail Spencer (Timeless) In terms of higher profile actors: - Zendaya - Simu Liu - Ryan Gosling

Katee Sackoff elevates any and every sci-fi media she's involved in. Emily Hampshire is a surprising, yet wonderful, idea!
I first saw Emily Hampshire on the 12 Monkeys tv show. Oh my god, is she an incredible actress. I'd love her to play anything.
Anya Taylor-Joy as a Vulcan would be so amazing to watch
Ted Danson as a retired professional Parrises Squares player who opens up a bar on DS9 that directly compete with Quark’s. Morn starts hanging out there instead. Hilarity ensues.
Morn!
Sacha Baron Cohen and any part he wants
How about as a Federation Diplomat who’s reaching his limit of fixing diplomatic situations caused by “cowboy captains”?
You know, that would be hilarious, especially because so many people would expect him to just be a complete comedic character, but his serious roles are incredible, like The Spy, and I would love for him to just be completely serious the whole time
yes, his range, gravitas, comedic chops, and comfort with makeup & accents that made me choose him. He could play a human or any other species, and he would kill it in comedic episodes as well as dramatic episodes or even horror episodes. Ideally I imagine he could play a section 31 spy who the crew keep encountering deep undercover among various worlds
He did a fantastic job as Abbie Hoffman in *The Trial of the Chicago 7*.
As a Q maybe
that's a great idea
Thanks!
Borat's descendant, Borat, is the newly assigned diplomat to the Kreetassan for nepotism reasons.
Adam Scott as an affable Lieutenant that turns out to be the head of Section 31.
He was already in Trek. He was the helm officer on the Defiant in First Contact.
Oh, that's right! I forgot that!
That would be kind of hilarious
Amy Poehler as Trelane/Q
This is such a great idea!
Mark Hamill as a captain. Not simply because he was in Star Wars, just because as a human being, he just strikes me as having the morals of a guy like Picard. Just a really cool guy.
It might be super cliche, but I’d love to see Nathan Fillion as a Captain in the Trek universe.
He's either the captain of an independently owned freighter or an overeager Starfleet lieutenant who managed to get an exception and got into the Academy despite his age.
Or the new gardener at the academy who gets roped into a high-stakes race across the system
He would make a good Captain Mackenzie Calhoun of the USS Excalibur
Ooh, I like that idea. Put in some purple contacts and he’s good to go!
A Maquis captain.
Okana's brother
Shiny
Now, I want that to happen.
John Bernthal, either as a Klingon warrior or as a Starfleet captain who goes rogue and does some illegal/morally questionable things.
Oh man, he’d make a great villain.
Maquis.
Cate Blanchett as the new badass Borg Queen
I was thinking Tilda Swinton would be an excellent borg queen.
God yes
All will worship and despair
Dominique Jackson from *Pose*. The Borg Queen reads an entire civilization for filth.
david tennant or michael sheen as Q characters or a similar mischievous but ultimately good character
I can only picture David Tennant as an Andorian for some reason. He'd be feisty like Shran.
I’ll be damned!
Ian McShane as a multi parter villain
Tom Ellis as a retired Q And have Matt Ryan keep bugging him about coming back
Kim Cardassian.
r/reluctantupvote
Emphasis on ass
Joe Peshi as a Ferrengi liquidator...
Peter Capaldi as an extremely grumpy but generally pretty good Admiral. And use the lack of censorship in Modern Trek to let him curse a bunch when calling out captains on their bullshit
Starfleet public relations lol
Oh God, now I want a "The Thick Of It" style Trek comedy series. Capaldi can be a roaming Ambassador, whose underlings and crew of the week need to keep fixing his gaffs. Make him a Tellarite, or Tellarite hybrid, and it'd be perfect!
David Lynch and he's Ensign Lynch's dad.
Can we get David Lynch opposite David Cronenberg?
This is absolutely what our main goal should be.
Given Tarantino’s predilection for Star Trek, I feel like he’s due a cameo in this director-heavy installation.
Sad upvote.
Can’t stop imagining David Lynch yelling at a replicator
I'd like to see Morgan Bateson as a retired captain now working at the fleet museum as well as teaching 23rd century history.
Isn’t he in special ops, working with Tuvok?
And drinking sherry with his equally fastidious brother Niles
Iggy Pop reprises his role as a Vorta.
10,000 times this
Bruce Campbell as an asshole admiral.
This is brilliant and needed very badly.
Just throwing in a couple of Aussie actors. Hugh Jackman - Probably not a lead role, maybe as a support/guest role like ships councillor or Ambassador to the UFP Hugo Weaving - If you want him sinister, he could be an El-Aurian who’s seen enough and wants to end the UFP.

Ben Mendelsohn - A Badmiral waiting to seize the opportunity to strike. Yvonne Strahovski - [Redacted by Section 31]
Honestly Robert Picardo as The Doctor would be great.
Which Doctor? Because I would fully support Picardo taking over after Tenant leaves again.
Lots of planets have an America.
Joe Manganiello as some handsome AF dashing adventurous captain who is a rival to Capt Shaw. A foil in Legacy.
Keanu would make a hell of a Vulcan or Romulan. Walton Goggins as anyone Kristen Schaal as a helmsman Patton Oswalt as an ent
Stanley Tucci. Idk why, or in what role. But I feel like he could do something memorable in the ST universe.
I feel like he'd be great as an admiral in charge of the diplomatic corps or something
Academy Chancellor is what I was imagining after thinking on it a bit.
As many faces from Stargate tv as possible.
But not reprising their previous roles. Christopher Judge - Chief Engineer Amanda Tapping - Transporter Chief Michael Shanks - Tactical Officer Richard Dean Anderson - Chief Medical Officer (Like a grumpy McCoy or sarcastic Dr T’ana) Ben Bowder - Science Officer Claudia Black - Second Officer Beau Bridges - Ship councillor / Ship Chef Garry Jones - Captain
Arthur Darvill either as a medic or a rogue captain

I need Avery Brooks back, the Sisko must return.
Samuel L. Jackson motherfucker!
I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING TRIBBLES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING STARSHIP!
Yes the Borg deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell!
Shohreh Aghdashloo (Avarsala from The Expanse) as anything, but it would be great to see her as a captain.
She was already an Admiral in Beyond.
Sigourney Weaver as a Captain, commanding a ship… No Admiral bs. That would be deadass dope❣️
" I have one job on this ship, and it's stupid, but I'm gonna do it."
Never give up… never surrender! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cecily Strong as a Vulcan
Eddie Izzard as President of the Federation.
Jeff Goldblum as a Kelpien.
Eddie Murphy. A captain with his laugh? Delightful.
As the captain of an engeneering class on lower decks i can see it.
Ben Stiller doing a typical Ben Stiller movie, but it takes place on some starfleet base or ship. Essentially a live action Lower Decks.
A series that takes place on Starbase 80.
I'm really seeing Star Trek as a genre now, not specific shows or IP. Lower decks is an animated comedy, Galaxy Quest, The Orville... I'd love to see that Quentin Tarantino movie. Star Trek is a space opera, it's a whole world full of good and bad and joy and pain, it's fun to look at other elements, not just the pride of the fleet.

I'd like to see Keith David -- ideally not as a Klingon, that's too obvious. He'd make a fantastic Federation officer, growling angry lines from the bridge at the enemy of the week.
I'd love to see David Tennant as Scotty, but I'm pretty sure that would never happen.
I will continue to champion Angela Bassett as an admiral in a film until it becomes a reality.
Jeffrey Combs as every character in at least one season. Though tbh I would love to see him as a starfleet officer of any sort for once!
>Combs Came here to say this.
Christoph Waltz as a Section 31 director would be great.
Christoph Waltz in a sequel to Patterns of Force.
Gemma Chan as anything
Jet Li as a Section 31 agent. He doesn’t even get a weapon
Nicholas Cage as Sybok on SNW
Alexander Skarsgård as a Klingon. Basically The Northman, but with Klingons.
I think we need to cast and crew the USS Meta. A ship staffed by inside joke character from non Star Trek rolls. Nathan Fillion as the Captain makes a comment about how he is going to keep the ship flying. The Rock as aVulcan says “fascinating” and raises the people’s eyebrow. Sigourney Weaver is the Coms officer who only gets to repeat what others are saying. Hugh Laurie is a pleasent and caring CMO. That type of thing.
Mark Hamill as a descendent of Harry Mudd or a Hologram in the Holodeck.
I'd love to see Sam Neill play a Vulcan.
terry cruise as a klingon
Mary McDonnell as Federation President.
Matt Smith as a Q or Changeling? Maybe?
Richard Dean Anderson as the dean of starfleet academy
Jensen Ackles as really anything, but after watching his performance as Soldier Boy in The Boys, I think he’d make a great villain maybe in an AOS movie if we ever get another one.
Salma Hayek as a counselor (ala Deanna Troi)...possibly on a new series with Shaw and 7 of 9. EDIT: Also, Emilie de Ravin and Phoebe Tonkin as part of the main cast.
Tom Hanks - Admiral of Star Fleet Academy. Robert Taylor - Starfleet Intelligence Jamie Dornan - MACO officer.
Honestly I could see Ke Huy Quan as a really nerdy scientist who had some odd obsession with a strange phenomenon or as a romantic foil to a really uptight character. I’d actually like to see Margot Robbie playing a transporter chief who is always certain she’s going to make a mistake and freaks people out as they’re about to use the transporter.

Joe Hamm as a Vulcan Admiral. Tom Cruise as the current Captain of the Enterprise.
James Spader. Sassy section 31 operative.
Mark Hamill, David Tennant, Daniel Craig
He's getting a bit old for it now, but Sean Bean as a MACO officer. Darragh O'Malley as his sergeant. A selection of misfits as a rifle section that has impact out of all proportion to the size of the group. Oh, and Sean's a working class Yorkshireman with a chip on his shoulder about it!
Ben Browder.
Anthony Anderson from Law and Order and Black-ish as an investigator in the Security branch of Starfleet solving crimes within the Federation. Like NCIS but with photon torpedoes!
Javier Bardem as the leader of a New Maquis
Elyse Marie Levesque —as an Android specialist (maybe she could repair Picard or other Androids) Michael Shanks — as a leader of the Q continuum and explains how they evolve into Q from other species | that or as a Pahwraith. Evanna Lynch—as a member of an evolved species that uses science in a way that appears like Magic and rejects joining the UFP Adria Arjona Torres—as a New Dax Symbiot after Ezri dies (or another Trill altogether that becomes Ezri’s wife)

Hmm, I could see him in that role…😂
Would he also have an artificial life form on the crew? And maybe an overly serious tough guy from a monogendered species?
And an inexperienced but super strong security officer. And, inexplicably, Cassidy Yates as the chief medical officer.
He plays an engineer that, through a series of unlikely events, manages to bring back Trip Tucker. (MacFarlane guest starred on Enterprise).
Mark Harmon as a Vulcan ambassador named G'ibs
I think Afflec would be a great captain with a Kirk-esque feel.
Affleck, you the bomb in Phantoms!
Which Affleck?
Ben.
Anthony Hopkins from 40 years ago would have made a perfect Khan Noonien Singh.
[удалено]
Why? Because of his comments on tropic thunder?
Plausible casting? I’d like to see Clarke Peters as a Starfleet admiral, Paul Giamatti as a crooked Ferengi captain, Adrian Pasdar as a human arms dealer, and Richard Karn as a incredibly malicious Pakled
Raul Esparza as CMO. Catherine Tate as Chief Engineer. Since Terry Matalas is putting all his 12 Monkeys actors in Picard, I'd like to see Emily Hampshire in a role.
I don’t know what his role would be on a ship, but I really want Noel Fielding as some sassy alien character. Also Matt Berry
Anthony Hopkins as an admiral
Kate Winslet as chief of starfleet intelligence.

Sigourney Weaver as Half-Klingon Fleet Admiral Vrorr of the House Kghull. Christina Hendricks in any role involving a Starfleet uniform.
I’d love to see Izzard in full Andorian diplomat getup and ask them if they have a flag
John Mulaney as Q would be perfect!
I always thought Bill Hader would be a great in Star Trek. He reminds me of Dwight Schultz and I loved Lt Barclay.
I’ll throw in an actor who’s long since passed but I would have loved to have seen Peter Falk play an investigator looking into how Sisko got the Romulans into the war.
I’m enjoying imagining Columbo I’m his trench coat and cigar dressing down a Romulan anything.
CAPT Morgan Bateson (ret) leaves the service, and goes back to school. He specalizes in helping other people out-of-time, using his new psychiatry degree.
If he was still alive I’d have to say R Lee Ermey. I’d love to see Captain Hartman shooting down an arrogant adversary.
Adam Baldwin as either a mercenary with a big rifle with a name or a Section 31 agent. Maybe as an insurance agent too
Bring back the Tsunkatse champion with the eyebrow. Have him join Starfleet
Jack McBrayer as a Q.
Charles Dance would be excellent as a Romulan. Or a Cardassian. Or a human captain. John C. Reilly would make a good Klingon. Alan Tudyk would make a good... anything, really. He's probably best as a scoundrel or rogue type character. Brendan Fraser would be superb as a nearly respectable member of the Q continuum.
Admiral Katrina Cornwell's own Motherly ancestry. She could running the Secret Intelligence of Starfleet in Picard's timeline
I'd like to see Julia Louis Dreyfus as a wisecracker Admiral.
Adam Sandler as a villain or pranker thief in the universe, Tom Blyth as an emerging officer or Peter Dinklage as anything
Kit Harrington as the love child of Thadiun Okona and B. G. Robinson.
John Noble reprises his ability to play a wacky/sometimes calculating scientist who's gone too far to reach an obsessive goal.
Danny Trejo plays a bad guy Klingon.
