Faces from the ‘Star Trek’ casting call

Edwin Chiu, 25

“I’m a really big ‘Star Trek’ fan. Well, enthusiast. Just say I’m an enthusiast. I work in computer graphics, so I’m only here because it’s ‘Star Trek.’ “  (Deborah Netburn / Los Angeles Times)

Danielle Masucci, 22

“I’m a photographer, but I do background work because it’s flexible. I don’t know anything about ‘Star Trek’ but I like the Shatner.”  (Deborah Netburn / Los Angeles Times)

John Banks, 24

Kristen Rakes, 24

“I’m not a ‘Star Trek’ fan and my apologies to everyone if I get it and someone else doesn’t. Seriously, I’d feel really guilty.”  (Deborah Netburn / Los Angeles Times)

Dominic Bonavitacola, 28

“I mostly do writing, but I have done extra work on one or two films. I’ve only been in L.A. for a year. I’m a huge ‘Star Trek’ fan and that’s the only reason I’m here.”  (Deborah Netburn / Los Angeles Times)

Eddie Martinez, 46

“I’ve been a ‘Star Trek’ fan since I was 8 years old and it’s the only reason I’m here today. I’ve done extra work before, but I don’t usually stand in line.”  (Deborah Netburn / Los Angeles Times)

Jason Stevenson, 31

“I love ‘Star Trek.’ That’s the main reason I’m here. I’m a writer and I have an independent film in production called ‘Coming Soon.’ I’m here for the fun of it.”  (Deborah Netburn / Los Angeles Times)

Kirk Walken, 38

“I don’t watch ‘Star Trek’ and I’m proud to say it. I just came with these guys. But my eyes are two different colors so I think they’ll probably want to use me.”  (Deborah Netburn / Los Angeles Times)
