His POSEIDON ship sunk, but is Vogel the new Captain of the Enterprise?

Relative unknown actor Mike Vogel is said to be the front runner for Captain Kirk in the new Trek movie.

IESB are claiming is the front runner for Captain Kirk but I don't remember who he is. Those movies were POSEIDON and THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE remake. It's probably good that I won't associate him with any other role but damn, he's hardly been memorable to me at all. I think this is going to be the guy folks. I've said it before on this site, you just get a feeling when a name gets mentioned that this will be the guy they go for. I had that feeling when Zachary Quinto was first mentioned for Spock and I'm getting that feeling again. Mike Vogel will be Captain Kirk. He's 28 and from Pennsylvania and another big hint on this one is that the actor is in the Abrams produced monster movie opening in January, so Abrams is certainly aware of who this guy is. So there you have it. Good or bad? I have nothing to say on this one. Remember the days when Matt Damon was always up for the role? I miss those times.
