    Chris Pine, son of Actor Robert Pine probably most recognized as Sergeant Getrare on "CHiP's".

    I'm sorry I really can't picture him as Captain Kirk.

    Yeah, he needs to put on a couple hundred pounds and loose some hair.

    Saw him in a couple clips on YouTube just now.

    I think he could be Kirk. :shrug:

    Didn't Jeffrey Hunter co-star with John Wayne in The Searchers? It doesn't get much more big-time or big-screen than that.

    "Good evening. I'm playing the role of Jesus, a man once portrayed on the big screen by Jeffrey Hunter. You may remember him as the actor who was replaced by William Shatner on Star Trek. Apparently Mr. Hunter was good enough to die for our sins but not quite up to the task of seducing green women." ~ Stewie Griffin

    Actually what I had heard was that Mrs Hunter didn't think that Jeff should take the part because "it was only television" so the part was up for grabs and his career went downhill.
    And then his health took a real nosedive.
