10 Actors Who Want To Be In Star Trek
3. Mira Sorvino
You won't many bigger Star Trek fans in Hollywood than Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino, whose father Paul Sorvino appeared in The Next Generation's seventh season episode "Homeward," playing Worf's (Michael Dorn) human foster brother Nikolai Rozhenko.
In a 2018 interview with Syfy, Sorvino was asked about her starter passions before becoming an actress, and couldn't resist but bring up Star Trek:
"You know what I'm gonna say. I've been on the record before - original Star Trek. I have the dolls, I have the phaser, I've got the little toy set which has the transporter that turns around... I went to conventions as a teenager, I have met most of the original cast, while many of them have now passed on sadly. I am the biggest geek for Star Trek ever."
And crucially, Sorvino couldn't help but advocate for herself appearing on basically any form of Star Trek media in the future:
"That's my thing, and if I could ever - hint hint - be in any future iterations..."
As of 2023 it hasn't happened yet, but considering how easy it is to picture Sorvino playing a dignitary or higher-up at Starfleet, it's about time somebody made her dream a reality.
