Zach Braff as Spock?

Rÿcher

Fleet Captain
Would Zach Braff have made a good Spock?

Jury's still out on Quinto. Remains to be seen.
 
Sure, why not. I consider him a capable actor. I think he could pull it off.
 
I like him in Scrubs and all, but I don't think so. Even in those serious movies he likes to make, he comes across as a bit of a goof. No offense but the whole idea makes about as much sense as if they were to cast Topher Grace as some kind of scary super villian. :rolleyes:

Good point. I didn't buy that either. Topher did an okay job. I think they should have saved him for when Tobey decides not to come back as Spidey.

I just thought dark hair, Hasidic features, tall and thin...

You know it's funny. Long before probably Spider-Man 2 came out, I was watching that 70's Show and thought that that he and his redheaded girlfriend would have made for a pretty good Peter and MJ. Oh well, be careful what you wish for.
 
Hasidic features
:wtf: Which would that be?

Please don't misunderstand. I'm not pigeonholing anyone into physical feature groups or anything. I'm among the least bigoted people in the world. Braff is Jewish and given that he's of Jewish ancestry and I hate to be the one to say it, sometimes you can just tell.

Big noses. Big noses and shifty eyes. And olive skin. All them Jews got that olive skin.

don't forget their purse of gold, funny hats and pigtails.

I have black friend...gay ones too...but sometimes they just freak me out you know?

I`m trying to picture the shifty eyes....

But you do know that a big nose is a good thing, right, at least that`s what I hear. :p
 
If you want Spock to be an insufferable, puppy-eyed, spine-less emo 12-year-girl, then Braff is your man--or man-like organism.
 
Of course the jury is still out and of course it remains to be seen. Why? Because the movie isn't out yet. Already we're recasting for Stark Trek Eleven, Part Two?
 
I like Scrubs, but I see nothing to suggest Braff would be a good Spock. I'd need to see him in a much more serious role.


Come to think of it, we've got a thread about Doctor Cox in DS9 and a thread about JD in ST:XI. What's next? Should the EMH have been named Doctor Jan Itor?
 
Well, it makes sense. He was on the early cast list for Trek XI.

-Dave Chapelle (Rick James T. Kirk)
-Dwayne "The Rock " Johnson (Doctor Leonard "Bonecrusher" McCoy)
-Zach Braff (Spock)
-David Tennant (Doctor Scotty)
-Harrison Ford (Han Sulu)
-Kate Capshaw (Chekov(?)
-Wil Wheaton (Uhura (0_o)
-Stuart Baird (Nero)
