This guy would make a good modern day Captain Kirk if they were ever to do a remake for Star Trek TOS

They are remaking TOS, they just called it Strange New Worlds.
Apparently a former vampire makes a good Kirk.......
There is no replacing Kirk. I hate reboots and recasting in general but the sheer ***king hubris of the Kurtzman gang to try and reboot Kirk takes things to another level.
None of these shows needed to be made, Disco. Strange New Worlds etc. Not to mention a Section 31 TV special or an Academy series. Don't get me started on Chabon's deliberate character assasination of Picard. Star Trek has been an absolute mess since the reboots in 2009.

Again, for us "Super Recognizers" this is as close a William Shatner is to my freakin' living room table
Not close!

Prodigy, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Picard Season 3 are all excellent. that's about half of the episodes since Discovery premiered. I fully expect to see a Kirk series runs parallel with TOS in a few years, sticking episodes between TOS episodes.

I popped in this thread out of morbid curiosity and boy is this exactly the thread it was always going to be.
Also, I don't know that Thomas Jane is that young anymore. He's a fine actor and I've liked him in everything I've seen him in. He would do a perfectly fine middle aged Kirk.

I thought Vic Mignogna played a convincing Kirk on Star Trek Continues.

In certain shots and in certain lighting, he was a dead ringer for him. Even his exercise regimen to get that 60's Shat bod, produced only by lifting weights and eating lots of sandwiches.

More than that, Vic studied Shatner's acting precisely. I don't necessarily share the fact he was a 'dead ringer' for his facial features, but his acting was totally Shatner. I would have loved a new ST series if he was in it. All the actors on ST Continues, really did an amazing job.

While his physicality was right, his voice was far too nasally to match Shatner’s Kirk.
One thing that never seems to get mentioned is the rich sound of the voices of the actors from classic Star Trek. No modern version captures it….perhaps it was the unfiltered cigarette smoking of the era…

Vic's voice isn't nasal although it is higher pitched. Does anybody sound like Shatner? I think he had a distinctive voice. If you by chance find a guy that sounds like him, you most likely wouldn't find someone who would act like him.
