Was not keen to star in `Star Trek`: Chris Pine

Actor Chris Pine was not keen to audition for "Star Trek" and was initially sceptical when his agent suggested the role of James Kirk in JJ Abrams`s 2009 reboot of the franchise.

London: Actor Chris Pine was not keen to audition for "Star Trek" and was initially sceptical when his agent suggested the role of James Kirk in JJ Abrams`s 2009 reboot of the franchise.
"I wasn`t a fan of `Star Trek`. It didn`t excite me. All I wanted at that time was a part that I really connected to. When my agent said Star Trek, I said, `No! Have you not been hearing anything I`ve said? Star Trek is the furthest thing from what I want to do`," he said. Pine reprises his role in the upcoming "Star Trek Into Darkness", alongside fellow returning stars Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg and John Cho. PTI
