Man he would have made a great Kirk. But think Chris Pines nail the roll. Timothy Olyphant is an awesome actor and the new Justified is great.
Olyphant would make a great Pike in the movies alongside Pine’s Kirk.
Throwing in the word “younger” seems unnecessarily rude on Abram’s part. If he had constructive notes for Olyphant, that’s one thing, but Olyphant can’t do anything about his age. I can’t help but think that it would have been kinder to leave age out of it.
I guess that’s the reality of Hollywood, but damn.
I don’t think Abrahams was blaming Olyphant for his age, just that Kirk’s role needed to be cast with a young actor. Olyphant doesn’t meet that requirement. How should he have said that?
Hollywood actors are very aware of the requirements for the kinds of roles they take. I doubt he was offended.
They cast for roles that require people to be “the ugly friend” or whatever. Do you think those people get upset when they get the roles?
Love Star Trek
Hate J.J.
I know it’s taboo to say in a lot of places, but I really do, too. can’t stand the Kelvin films.
