Sebastian Stan Recalls ‘Star Trek’, ‘Green Lantern’ Roles He “Desperately Wanted”


Years before playing Donald Trump in 'The Apprentice', Sebastian Stan auditioned for leading roles in 'Star Trek' and 'Green Lantern'.

Following appearances on Gossip Girl and Once Upon a Time, Stan rose to fame with roles in Captain America: The Winter Soldier(2014), I, Tonya(2017) and Hulu’s Pam & Tommy(2022), the latter earning him his first Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.
