In 1966 the original Star Trek aired as a T.V. series which was created by Gene Roddenberry. Over the years, Star Trek became a cult classic due to the huge and constantly growing fan base. In 2009, J.J. Abrams directed the story of how the legendary crew of the USS Enterprise comes together which was never covered in the original series. The main problem with recreating a series that aired in the 1960's with today's technology is that it is nearly impossible to resist making the technology look far better than the original since special effects have evolved into a true art form since the 60's. To solve this problem, the new version of Star Trek has an event that occurs that changes the timeline so that the need for the advancement of technology is obvious. This event occurs years before we see Kirk take charge of the Enterprise and is a great plot design for a more futuristic looking USS Enterprise.
The following is a list of cast members and the characters they portrayed
