Perhaps I should rephrase:
Can you tell me what current actor you could see playing Kirk?
Can you tell me what current actor you could see playing Spock?
See, I believe that the performances are so unique and defined already that either there will be no success finding actors to fill the roles OR they will butcher the roles to fit the actors they find.

I imagine that since the characters are portrayed as being younger, they will have different actors playing the parts.
That is obvious...I imagine that since the characters are portrayed as being younger, they will have different actors playing the parts.

I will have a difficult time seeing someone else play these roles, and I understand the necessity of it given the story. This was not the way to go, IMO, especially because Paramount yanked Enterprise last year stating the franchise was suffering from fatigue. Should wait until 2010, then go in a completely new direction, including tossing the canon of the spinoff series' out the window along with the utopian worldview crap...wipe out the Federation and have to build from square one again.
