officer Saru; Anthony
Rapp as fellow
science officer Stamets; James
Frain as
Sarek, a Vulcan astrophysicist and Spock's father; Terry
Serpico as
Starfleet admiral Anderson; and Sam
Vartholomeos as
junior Starfleet officer Connor.
Set
to recur are Michelle
Yeoh as Georgiu,
captain of another ship called the Shenzhou; Shazad
Latif as
Kol, the Klingon commanding officer; Chris
Obi as a Klingon
leader T'Kuvma; and Mary
