Paul Giamatti Joins ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ as Main Villain


'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' has cast Paul Giamatti in a recurring guest role as the first season's main villain.

When the show begins shooting in Toronto later this summer, it will include the largest contiguous set ever constructed for a “Star Trek” series: an academic atrium that spanning two stories, with an amphitheater, classrooms, a mess hall and an idyllic walkway lined with trees. As the title suggests, the series will chronicle the lives of the Academy’s cadets, from their academic and romantic pursuits to contending with the newest adversary to endanger the peace and prosperity of the United Federation of Planets. Along with Kurtzman and Landau, “Starfleet Academy’s” executive producers include Gaia Violo, Aaron Baiers, Olatunde Osunsanmi, Jenny Lumet, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth, Frank Siracusa and John Weber.
