20 Things You Didn't Know About Uncharted
4. Uncharted 2 Got Nolan North A Role In Star Trek
Another connection between Uncharted and Hollywood, fans who watched 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness may have noticed a familiar face (and voice) make a quick appearance towards the end of the film.
Yes, Nolan North himself has a cameo in the sci-fi sequel, playing a crew member of the USS Vengeance who is shot down when Khan, Kirk and Scotty storm the command room.
It's a teeny-tiny role but it was cool to see him onscreen nonetheless, and according to North, he landed the part because director J.J. Abrams was a big fan of Uncharted 2 - specifically, its opening train scene:
"Interesting thing about this is that years later, I got to work with JJ Abrams... we talked about Uncharted. It was the reason he put me in Star Trek Into Darkness - a little part just for fun - and he said the opening of Uncharted 2 was the best opening of a game, television show or movie he’s ever seen."
In return, it seems as though J.J. Abrams sneaked an Uncharted reference into Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Doesn't Poe's costume look familiar?
