Promoting his new show Justified: City Primeval, Olyphant admitted that he was once in the running for J.J. Abrams' Star Trek
In Olyphant’s version, he was actually auditioning,for the part of Bones McCoy, a role which eventually went to Karl Urban. But once Urban scored that role, Abrams told Olyphant, “I, so I don’t need you for that. But I don’t have a Kirk.
here it’s like they might have been prepared to hire me, but they wanted somebody younger, and [Abrams] was having a hard time finding somebody younger,Advertisement Olyphant, who’s very funny throughout the interview, couldn’t be more effusive in his praise for that younger guy, either,I have since then met Chris Pine and I am a huge fan of him both on and off screen. I love that guy.Interestingly, Horowitz also asked Olyphant about rumors that he’d been in the running to play Iron Man for Jon Favreau .
