Michael Hogan is probably known by the majority of people here as Colonel Saul Tigh in Battlestar Galactica, or perhaps as the voice of Armando-Owen Bailey in the Mass Effect series. His work in science fiction is quite obviously extensive, and as such applied for the role of Captain Robert April for Star Trek: Axanar to be released in 2015, and was awarded the position. Unfortunately, it was officially announced on the 6th of October that he will not be continuing in the role due to personal reasons, for which he withdrew his application.
This, however, leaves a gap. So far as official announcements go, all that we have been told that one of the most likely person to fill the role of the first captain of the USS Enterprise (NCC 1701) is going to be Paul McGann, who's most recognised role is that of the eighth incarnation of the doctor in the Doctor Who series. Filling the role of a character who "...should be 50 in 2245...", McGann is a very close 54 as opposed to Michael Hogan's 64, and would "...logically make more sense in this position, age wise..." at least. I guess it will be up to time to tell us how this all pans out.
We as viewers don't know much more at these early stages, but make sure to watch this space as we get even more knowledge on what looks like a Star Trek epic - Star Trek: Axanar!
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PAUL McGANN?
