Landry, and Damon Runyan (above, far right) as yet another Klingon named Ujilli. Shazad Latif (above, centre), who was previously announced as Kol, will now play the role of Lt. Tyler, a Starfleet officer.

These new actors join a long list of names, including Rainn Wilson (Harry Mudd), Mary Wiseman (Tilly), James Frain (Sarek), Doug Jones (Lt. Saru), Anthony Rapp (Lt. Stamets), Jason Issacs (Captain Lorca), Michelle Yeoh (Captain Georgiou) and Sonequa Martin-Green as main character Lt. Cmdr. Rainsford, or Number One.

Star Trek: Discovery is now expected in later winter. It’ll air on CBS on demand in the USA, Space (via Crave) in Canada and on Netflix here in Australia and in other regions.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
