Goober Pyle playing Spock? Was Gene thinking of making Star Trek into a comedy? Can’t picture that casting. Martin Landau, however, would have been a terrific Vulcan. But Leonard Nimoy was perfection as Spock.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking because someone has done comedic acting that they don't have the chops to do a serious role. Aside from the example of Robin Williams, keep in mind before "Breaking Bad", Brian's Cranston's most notable role was probably in "Malcolm in the Middle".
Robin Williams didn't refuse the role on Star Trek The Next Generation, the name of the 5th season episode 'A Matter of Time' is very fitting, again Robin Williams didn't refuse the role. he respectfully declined the role over pre-existing contracts and he could not make it work with his schedule to star in Hook the Character of Berlinghoff Rasmussen went to Matt Frewer instead and was a rather good episode. so it was a matter of timing. next you'll make a video saying he refused the role of The War Doctor in Doctor Who. again he didn't refuse, he respectfully declined the role over privet health issues. but his wife did say he saw the episodes and they made him smile like nothing had in years.

@idgamingfederation202 I really dislike the total lack of privacy regarding William's or anyone else's private health matters and the exact manner of death. I know it's legal but do we need to see and hear actual 911 calls, gruesome crime scene photos, the belt Williams used to end his personal torment? It's pretty simple and exactly as you said; he acted professionally by stating he had prior commitments. You don't put a major production on hold because you've been offered another role. As for his illness you don't just "suck it up", that's what my sister expected of my niece before she jumped. Just let it go.

This is very interesting. It's understandable. Back then a lot of screen actors may not have realized that Television was poised to often surpass movies in overall quality. The biggest warning sign was Law and Order, and The Sopranos clinched it. Mad Men was a masterpiece in my opinion - better than most movies I have ever seen.

I understand why Ricardo Montalban was cast for Khan Singh in the 60s. There was a limited number of Indian actors in Hollywood. It made sense for him to reprise his role in the movie in the 80s. However, there was no good reason not to cast one of the many South Asian, Persian, or Arab actors in Hollywood to play the character the second time around. Sendhil Ramamurthy from "Heroes" Mohinder Suresh would have been a great choice.

we are talking J.J. here... I consider him to be one of the worst directors in modern cinemas right up there with Micheal Bay. He single handedly ruined what are considered to be the two largest sci fi franchises in history... If it were not for Picard he would have killed StarTrek forever... Thank you J.J. for getting away from star trek. Stay away. Stay far away. Out of transporter range. Go to the delta quadrant. Let the Borg get you.. Maybe your horrible directing will inadvertently infect the borg like Janeway did.
