Currently Korean Linda Park plays Japanese Hoshi Sato. I won’t even get into Scotty not really having a Scottish accent.

Anyway…  
Kirk: Noah Wyle  
Spock: I can’t think of anyone.  
McCoy: Gary Busey!!!  
Scotty: Billy Connelly seconded!  
Checkov: Ethan Embry  
Sulu: Steve Chow!!!  
Urura: Jada Pinkett
