I’d like to throw in some Canadian actor suggestions.
While it’s true that Discovery has drawn its seasonal guests stars and background cast among actors working in Canada, there are certainly others I’d like to see.
Ryan Gosling just seems, like Nic Cage, to be the kind of actor to make a interesting guest turn.
Sandra Oh would be great as a challenging captain or flag officer.
Cara Gee (Drummer in The Expanse) can equally play quirky and delightful characters (as she did in the indie film Red Rover). I’d love to see her get a lighter, comic turn in Trek.
Maurice Dean Winte (British-Canadian) is really compelling as Auggie in Surreal Estate, and would be a great guest alien. In fact, it would be great to see Tim Rozen appear as well.
Academy Award nominee Graham Greene - who recently made an impression in a Last of Us episode.
Some younger actors could include those who’ve graduated out of TVO/PBS productions targeted to kids including actor/writer/producer prodigy Jadiel Dowlin Lewis, Adrienna Di Liello, Addison Holley, Dalila Bella, Anna Cathcart, Issac Kragten.
Last, I’d like to see Samora Smallwood - who placed Lt Amin on the Enterprise in Discovery season two and in the Short Trek Q&A, come back as a guest star. She’s gone onto main cast roles in other shows, and a Canadian Screen Award. Even if they didn’t have a place for her as a regular in SNW, she’s more than able to hold a guest turn.
I think that Terry Chen would be a great choice. I loved the vulnerability and decency he conveyed in his character in The Expanse. He's also played cold villains, like the one in Continuum.
I also liked Doyle's Tarka. I'm looking forward to seeing Callum Keith Rennie's 32nd century Vulcan captain in Discovery's season 5.
