Guide to the <i>Star Trek</i> Universe

Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike

One of the most surprising elements of the original “Star Trek” pilot was that there was no Captain Kirk at all. Instead, the Enterprise was led by Captain Christopher Pike, played by successful movie star Jeffrey Hunter. When NBC picked up “Star Trek” as a series, Hunter decided he would rather continue to focus on his movie career, and so, we got Captain James T. Kirk instead.
