The actor behind Captain Carson Teva on Star Wars' The Mandalorian has set his sights - and phasers - on a dream role in a future Star Trek project.
Breakout The Mandalorian star Paul Sun-Hyung Lee has revealed that he'd love to be cast in a future Star Trek project. Lee, who debuted as Adelphi Ranger Captain Carson Teva on The Mandalorian season 2 wants to join the small rank of Star Wars actors who also appeared in Star Trek properties alongside the likes of George Takei and Simon Pegg.
Lee responded to a question about his future - and specifically calls to lead a revival of Kim's Convenience - to talk about his upcoming role on the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender TV show and his dream of being cast in two other huge sci-fi franchises: SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT He also hit back at outrageous suggestions from fans that it's impossible to love both Star Trek and Star Wars, and that there's some unwritten rule that you can't be cast in both. Given Rangers of the New Republic's cancelation, Lee deserves the opportunity to show his starship piloting skills, and Star Trek could be the perfect way to answer the call.
In his favor, Lee could look to other Star Trek fans who were cast, with the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, and Tim Russ cited as fans who got their dream jobs. It's now down to Paramount's casting teams to give the accomplished pilot from LucasFilm's universe a chance to captain something a little bigger than an X-Wing.
