Star Trek Cast & Crew

The now world-reknowned series "Star Trek" follows the crew of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise as it completes its missions in space in the 23rd century. Captain James T. Kirk - along with half human/half Vulcan science officer Spock, ship Dr. "Bones" McCoy, Ensign Pavel Chekov, communications officer Lt. Nyota Uhura, helmsman Lt. Hikaru Zulu and chief engineer Lt. Cmdr. "Scotty" Scott - confront strange alien races, friendly and hostile alike, as they explore unknown worlds. Suprisingly, "Star Trek" was not considered a commercial hit when it originally aired. Canceled due to diminishing audiences, the show gained cult popularity in reruns in the 70s. Fans called "Trekkies" held conventions and lobbied to bring the crew of the Enterprise back to TV. Instead, several "Trek" movies were made, as well as a flock of other "Star Trek"-inspired series including "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."
