You mean to say that a non-white character was played by a non-white actor? A Latino in "tanface", no less...44 years ago, and that's going to be your standard, now? At least 44 years ago they decided to hire someone who wasn't whiter than Kirk for the role of an Indian. 2012, however, and we're back to square one.


Not even considered, I bet.

If they wanted an Indian guy for Khan they could've cast Kal Penn, and then the film's conflict could be solved by Sulu and Khan bonding over a huge blunt.

Films with black leads who aren't established stars usually struggle overseas.

Shame we don't have any data to support this, given that Hollywood never casts any black leads besides Will Smith and Denzel Washington.

Voyage Home rules, you dummies. I know that and I don't even like Star Trek.

Voyage Home is terrible, probably my least favourite of the original cast movies. Search For Spock is boring as hell but at least it's not trying to be funny and failing horribly.
