Fans of the BBC Doctor Who series will be familiar with Noel Clarke who has had a recurring role in the show since the very first episode. He has also appeared in Neil Marshal's Centurion and the heist flick 4.3.2.1. Clarke also starred and co-wrote the critically acclaimed Kidulthood and went on to star and direct it's follow up Adulthood - both well worth checking out if you haven't seen em.
Anyway, Variety report that Clarke's next acting job will be a big one as he has been cast in J.J Abram's
Star Trek sequel..
While the details of Clarke's role are being kept under wraps, he will play a family man with a wife and young daughter.
Not too much to go on but I'm sure more details will slip through soon enough. Clarke joins newcomers Alice Eve and Peter Weller who's roles also remain a mystery for now. The part of Kha..err, "the villain" was offered to Benecio Del Toro but he turned it down. Paramount have yet to find a replacement.
The as yet untitled sequel (it won't be "Star Trek 2") is set for release May 17, 2013.
