It is now up to you to decide who should play Gene Roddenberry. Who would do Gene Roddenberry justice? I'm still trying to figure it out, so please leave your comments. You might also be able to make your Star Trek: The Original Series dream cast. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy are among the others. It is unlikely that the Abrams and Kelvin-universe Trek actors would reprise their roles as actors. They'd be too old anyway. Ethan Peck played Spock in Star Trek: Discovery, and will reprise the role in Strange New Worlds.
It doesn't matter how it turns out, this is Gene's birthday gift and well-deserved.
