10 Actors Who Should Be In Star Trek

10. Anya Chalotra

Anya Chalotra is a relative newcomer to the acting world, but she has certainly proved her might as Yennefer in Netflix's The Witcher, which quickly became one of the most watched series on the platform. Hopefully Liam Hemsworth can keep those viewing figures up now that Henry Cavill is out of the picture!

Given the subtleties of her performance in The Witcher, we have previously recast Chalotra as the ever stoic, but bubbling mass of Vulcan emotions beneath the surface, T'Pol, in a Star Trek: Enterprise reboot. However, the talented British actress is now set to star in a very different role that should make her an ideal fit for another arm of the Trek franchise.

Already in production, Chalotra will be voicing a character in the animated series New-Gen (even the title screams Star Trek), based on the Marvel comic book series. Set in a utopian future (Star Trek much?) where nanotech is commonplace, the series will be aimed primarily at young children (#SaveStarTrekProdigy), and has Brent Friedman, formerly a consulting producer on Enterprise, as showrunner.

Assuming that all goes well, and that Prodigy finds a new home, Chalotra could join up with Janeway and her warrant officers-in-training as an entirely new character from anywhere in the galaxy or even lend her voice to the Lower Decks.
