On the occasion of today’s DVD/Blu-ray release of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movie, it’s a good time to review the many luminaries from science and entertainment who revealed their inner Trekkies by taking on small roles in the new and past incarnations of the beloved franchise.

Abrams’ rebooted Trek, of course, is loaded with winking cameos, including appearances by Chris Doohan, son of Trek’s original Scotty, the late James Doohan, as a transporter tech. (Fans recall that Chris and his twin brother, Montgomery, also cameoed in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.) There’s also the voice cameo by Heroes’ Greg Grunberg, Abrams’ longtime pal, who is heard on the Corvette radio phone as young James T. Kirk steals the car.
