who plays captain pike on star trek discovery
Christopher Pike (Star Trek) Christopher Pike is a character in the Star Trek science fiction franchise. He was portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter in the original Star Trek pilot episode, "The Cage", as captain of the USSÂ Enterprise. The pilot was rejected, and the character was dropped during development of the second pilot when Hunter decided that he did not want to continue with the series.[1][2] Sean Kenney portrayed the physically disabled Christopher Pike in new footage filmed for a subsequent Star Trek episode, "The Menagerie", which also re-uses original footage featuring Hunter from "The Cage". Bruce Greenwood portrays Pike in the 2009 film Star Trek and its 2013 sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness.[3] Captain Pike and the Enterprise appear in the second season of Star Trek: Discovery; the trailer for the season shows Pike (Anson Mount) taking temporary command of the USS Discovery in a crisis situation.
Doug Jones (actor) Jones was cast as Commander Saru in Star Trek: Discovery, which premiered September 24, 2017. That same year, Jones reunited with Guillermo del Toro in 2017, this time in a romantic lead role, playing the Amphibian Man in The Shape of Water.[24]
