Ben Cross Cast As Spock’s Father In JJ Abrams’ Star Trek

British Actor Ben Cross has been cast as Spock’s Vulcan father Sarek in the upcoming JJ Abrams’ film Star Trek. Cross is best known for his role in Chariots of Fire, but will play the husband of Amanda Grayson, the mother of spock for the highly-anticipated JJ Abrams film.

I first thought that Spock’s parents would appear in the movie in a flashback but with Cross, 59, being more age appropriate it seems that Ryder could be aged older for the role.

Star Trek hits theaters on December 25th 2008.
