Karl Urban is not only excited about playing Dr. McCoy in Star Trek XI, he's looking forward to the future. Karl Urban meets Star Trek's Spock JOHN SELKIRK/The Dominion Post Monday, 14 April 2008 Kiwi actor Karl Urban, who plays Dr McCoy in the new Star Trek movie, says one of the highlights during filming was meeting Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock in the original series. "I was privileged enough to be on set the day he first put those ears back on, which I think was the first time in over 15 years," Urban said in the latest issue of Star Trek magazine. "As a Trekker myself I got chills up my spine hearing him deliver those Spock lines in that Spock cadence. It was a really thrilling and exciting moment to be witness to." ~ ~ ~ ~ Urban is confident the movie will be the first of at least three Star Trek films for the cast."I really believe that this movie is going to not only satiate the long-term Trekkers, but also introduce the Star Trek phenomenon to a whole new demographic of people who perhaps weren't around or privy to the various incarnations in the past."
