Chris Pine

Chris Pine.

The first time I saw him was in the movie Star Trek. To date, the only other movies I've seen him in are Unstoppable and Carriers. Truth be told, I have watched Star Trek several times now (and probably will several times more) and I LOVE his work-- I LOVE how fully realized, and honest, and passionate and funny his protrayal of James Kirk registers internally for me. One of my favorite sequences of his begins when Doctor Mccoy gives him a shot to get him on the ship. His facial expressions, his physicality--hilarity ensues.

I loved his work so much, that I began surfing the internet looking for interviews featuring him--both written and on-camera.

Thus far in the interviews I've seen, he comes across as amiable, articulate, relaxed and comfortable and that honestly, just adds to the growing respect I have for him.

Yes, he also happens to be rather easy on the eyes. But trust me--if he only had that going for him without his work and seemingly genuine comfortable-in-his-own-skin personality, I'd probably not give him a deeper look...Probably;p


Solely based on what I've seen of his public persona so far, I think I would love to work with him--particularly on a play or a television series where we have scenes together and we actually speak/interact with each other. I would love watching him, learn from watching him and want to bring my A-game. I am always grateful for anything that contributes to my wanting to be better at my craft, better at being conscious, etc, and I think my experience of him would yield this. At least that would be my hope going into it!

Quick props to Star Trek. I honestly loved everything about it--the cast, the script--the building on and moving away from the established canon. I really wished the DVD Extras contained Deleted Scenes and more actual bloopers. I would also have loved to hear an Actor commentary Track including Mr. Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, and Eric Bana.

Chris Pine, I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.
