Do you want to be in Star Trek XI? Are you skinny? That’s the only hard and fast requirement for being an extra in the film, although being super ugly while being skinny is helpful.

Obviously no one in Star Trek XI‘s casting office has been to a Trek convention (or any nerd con for that matter) – body type is no barrier to people wearing form fitting clothes. I have the psychic scars to prove it.
