10 Actors Who Want To Be In Star Trek
1. Daniel Craig
Following on from Dave Bautista, we have his James Bond and Knives Out co-star Daniel Craig, who in an admittedly relatively old interview with Airlock Alpha from 2007, confessed a long-held desire to be a part of Star Trek. Craig said:
"I would love a stint in the TV show or in a film... It's been a secret ambition of mine for years."
And given that Craig ended up making a surreptitious cameo as a Stormtrooper in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, one suspects his love of major sci-fi franchises hasn't diminished one bit.
It's just a shame that The Force Awakens' director J.J. Abrams couldn't have found a way to insert Craig into his trilogy of Trek reboot movies.
Yet if the long-gestating fourth film does ever go into production, there will be ample time to correct the mistake, especially with Craig's all-consuming Bond role now at an end.
Whether as a wink-wink cameo or honest-to-God character in his own right, Craig has the chops to give us a Trek character either smoulderingly intense or totally hilarious.
