Pine

Chris Pine -- Star Trek's current Captain Kirk -- has emerged as one of Hollywood’s most-exciting young talents, with multiple projects on the way and a resume that's as extensive as he is versatile. The actor was most recently seen in the Oscar-nominated drama, Hell or High Water, alongside Jeff Bridges and Ben Foster, which came on the heels of his third go-round as Kirk in Star Trek Beyond, following Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness. He can currently be heard voicing several characters on the animated series SuperMansion, will be back on the big screen in Wonder Woman and is co-starring with Reese Witherspoon, Zach Galifianakis and Mindy Kaling in Ava Duvarnay’s A Wrinkle in Time, the film adaption of the novel by the same name. 

Pine's many other credits include The Finest Hours, the true story of the U.S. Coast Guard's most daring sea rescue; Wet Hot American Summer; Z for Zachariah, which also starred Chiwetel Ejiofor and Margot Robbie and was directed by Craig Zobel; and Horrible Bosses 2, opposite Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey. He also co-starred in Rob Marshall’s Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated musical-comedy Into the Woods alongside Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Johnny Depp and Anna Kendrick, and played the title role in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit for director Kenneth Branagh opposite Keira Knightley and Kevin Costner.

In 2013, Pine starred in Star Trek: Star Trek into Darkness, directed by J.J. Abrams, and voiced Kirk for the Star Trek video game released that year. In 2012, he lent his voice to the animated feature Rise of the Guardians with Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher and Jude Law. He also starred opposite Michelle Pfeiffer, Elizabeth Banks and Olivia Wilde in the drama People Like Us and co-starred with Reese Witherspoon and Tom Hardy in the action-comedy This Means War. Previously, Pine starred opposite Denzel Washington in Unstoppable, directed by Tony Scott.
