The cast for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is set. The show, which features Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti in lead roles, has added their last core cast member, British-Canadian model, Sandro Rosta. According to IMDP, Rosta has only appeared in two other projects.

The first was a short film called Snitches Get Stitches, and it's about puppets who are in a violent gang. But they're like Sesame Street puppets, who get wrapped up in a violent lifestyle. It seems interesting enough. The other project is an unreleased film called Drained. Neither seems to boast any big names, so this will be Rosta's first outing with A-list talents like Hunter and Ggiamatti.

Of course, Rosta isn't the only new actor to join the cast. Most of the names are new, like Kerrice Brooks, Bella Shepard, George Hawkins, Zoe Steiner, and others. Of course, they're not the only names joining the crew. Star Trek veterans Robert Picardo and Tig Notaro are back as regulars, reprising their former roles from Star Trek's Voyager and Discovery respectively.

Oded Fehr and Mary Wiseman will also be back with Star Trek, reprising their roles from Discovery in guest starring roles. The collection of cast members certainly embodies the typical Star Trek approach. That tried and true method usually sees newer names take up the show's roles from the captain down. While some had experience prior to Star Trek, like William Shatner and Patrick Stewart, most of the "big names" from Star Trek achieved their success due to the franchise.

The rare exception is Scott Bakula. The casting of Hunter and Giamatti arguably surpasses the casting of Bakula as the biggest names to join a Star Trek franchise for the first time. Making Starfleet Academy a very interesting and unique show, as it blends the customary approach to show casting that Star Trek takes with a new and bold approach.
