That fact that it’s an open call suggests that the average fan who meets the physical requirements has a good shot at maybe landing the gig. It brings to mind how many fans, including such known fans as Bjo Trimble, who had spearheaded the “Save Star Trek” letter writing campaigns that helped to keep the original series on the air in the late 60s, and “The Trouble With Tribbles” episode writer David Gerrold, were used as extras during the crew briefing scene in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).
Via Coming Soon.
