Actors I'd love to have seen as captains.

So I was looking at someone's avatar here of Gary Seven in a Starfleet gig and suddenly thought of several other actors I'd love to have seen wearing the captain's colours.

James Garner: Everyone's favourite gunslinger/sheriff/private dick. He would have made a fantastic captain. :D

James Coburn: Our Man Flint!

Lee Marvin: Strong, serious, and when he speaks, people listen. He'd also play a good drunk if the captain had a drinking prublem. xD

Tom Selleck: With the moustache

Burt Reynolds: Tell me that wouldn't be cool. :3 OK maybe as an independent ship captain, like Mudd. :3

Dianna Rigg: Strong, commanding, feminine. Also... Emma Peel! :D

Joanna Lumley: Miss Purdey!

Bruce Campbell: Come on... You can't NOT have him on this list! :)

Anyone else have any actors they'd always wished would have been captains? :)

Instead of Burt Reynolds, I'm gonna go with Ryan Reynolds. Rawr.

donald sutherland. he has a towering preasence, for some reason i think he would a grace under fire captain. plus hes pretty hot for an older man, just sayin...

see.. I have this sick fantasy.. I would LOVE to see Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders as the Klingon sisters, B'etor and Lursa

Oooh! Ooh! Or David Boreanaz! :D

i vote for Ryan Reynolds

Bruce Campbell would make an awesome captain.

I'd also like to see Sean Connery and David Tennant

As for my avatar, I play in a PBEM Star Trek RPG that is a part of Bravo Fleet and our ship's captain made that for me.

Oooh, speaking of steely eyed hero types, Patrick McGoohan (of The Prisoner) would have made a great captain. :D

I like all the suggestions here. And I'll add Ben Browder, not because I watched Farscape or Stargate, but because of how he manages to fill out whatever uniform they put him in. Sigh.

Of all mentioned to this point, I think Diana Rigg would make the coolest captain. Or David Tennant for the eye candy. :-)

Assignment: Earth would have been a very cool show. I think it would have fit very well with the zeitgeist of the '60s.

I vote Hugo Weaving, I think he could make a very different style of captain to the cohort we're used to.

Otherwise, how about Alexander Skarsgård, since there must be some hot captains out there somewhere! :-D

I can totally see him staring down a Klingon captain.

The 1980's Tom Baker could have been a good captain, although they would have to have found a way to work in his Doctor Who scarf.

Roddy McDowall is another one I'd love to have seen as a captain.

McDowall yes, but not Baker so much or some of the other Doctors. Pertwee on the otherhand, thats the ticket.
