Where is a new set of actors for TNG? If a new TNG series/movie was made, who could the actors be for that?

    There are more equal number of actors that have played Captain Pike than Captain Kirk:

    EDIT: I forgot there is a 4th Kirk actor. In the first Kelvin film Star Trek (2009), there is a young kirk actor. So 4 for Kirk and 4 for Pike.

      TOS had 2 actors? I remember there was a later episode but I assumed it was the same actor? Guess I assumed wrong

        I guessed wrong too, which was a surprise to me when I looked this up:

        “New filming took place for the framing story for “The Cage”. Since actor Jeffrey Hunter was unavailable to reprise his role as Captain Pike, a look-alike actor, Sean Kenney, played the injured captain in the new scenes, although Hunter was represented in flashback footage and credited accordingly (along with the other original “Cage” cast).” source
