James T. Kirk

He is portrayed by Chris Pine, the youngest child of actor Robert Pine and former actress Gwynne Gilford.

Spock

Spock is a half-human, half-Vulcan science officer aboard the Enterprise. His Vulcan heritage means that he prefers to use logic and reason, rather than emotion, to make decisions. He knows the Starfleet code inside and out, and he's occasionally a thorn in the side of the ship's captain-though Kirk finds his knowledge and decision-making skills invaluable. He's portrayed by Zachary Quinto, who can be seen in the FX series "American Horror Story."

Uhura

Lieutenant Uhura is a communications officer whom Kirk tried to seduce before the two were stationed on the same ship together. She initially despised him and was enamored of Spock, with whom she's in a relationship in "Star Trek Into Darkness." Kirk finally Chicago PD Seasons 1-2 on dvd won her over with his bravery, and she is now respectful of his title and rank.

Scotty

Sulu

John Cho, who's famous for the "Harold and Kumar" movies and will be seen in the upcoming "Sleepy Hollow" adaptation, plays the role.

Chekov
