Australian actor Chris Hemsworth (“The Cache,” “Brothers”) will play James T. Kirk’s father, George Kirk. Ironically, in real life, Hemsworth is three years younger than actor Chris Pine, the man portraying the younger James T. Kirk, leading many to speculate that the George Kirk scenes will be flashbacks.
Another great casting choice by J.J. Abrams is Clifton Collins Jr. (“Alias,” “Capote”). Collins will portray a bad guy by the name of Ayel. His character will partner up with the film’s primary villain named Nero, played by Eric Bana.
