'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 has found its Captain Kirk in 'The Vampire Diaries' alum Paul Wesley.
Paul Wesley is boldly going where no modern Star Trek star has gone before. Paramount has announced that the Vampire Diaries star is set to play Captain James T. Kirk in season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which is currently in production in Toronto. Wesley is the third actor to play the role of James Kirk, after William Shatner originated the role in the original Star Trek series in the 60s, and Chris Pine took up the mantle for J.J. Abrams’ rebooted film in 2009.
