Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies made household names of Chris Pine and his fellow cast members, who have multiple credits beyond the starship Enterprise. The cast of the 2009 Star Trek reboot were well on the way to becoming big stars, with Zachary Quinto rising to fame as sinister supervillain Sylar in Heroes, and Simon Pegg breaking Hollywood with Shaun of the Dead back in 2004.
7 Anton Yelchin Pat in Green Room Close The late Anton Yelchin worked with an impressive list of auteur directors following the release of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek in 2009. The Chekov actor worked with Jim Jarmusch on Only Lovers Left Alive alongside Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton, and starred in Paul Schrader's Dying of the Light alongside Nicolas Cage. Anton Yelchin's best role between Star Trek movies was in Jeremy Saulnier's gnarly crime movie Green Room.
5 John Cho Jin in Columbus Close Prior to being cast in Star Trek, John Cho was best known for playing Harold Lee in the Harold & Kumar movies. However, since playing Lt. Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek, the actor has taken on some more challenging acting roles in everything from the Karen Gillan-led sitcom Selfie to a small role in Park Chan-wook's HBO spy thriller, The Sympathizer.
3 Zoe Saldaña Gamora in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Close Arguably, Zoe Saldaña is the most successful member of the Star Trek cast, as she is one of the highest-grossing actresses of all time, with her movies earning an estimated total of $11 billion. J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies are just a small part of this impressive total, as Saldaña has starred in three of the highest-grossing movies of all time; Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Avatar: The Way of Water.
