Kirk.
Rhys Darby can easily and delightfully play an actor with a dark secret.
It is possible Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 may reintroduce Anton Cardian to perhaps perform for Captain Christopher Pike’s (Anson Mount) USS Enterprise crew. Paul Wesley’s Lt. Kirk would need to be absent from any Strange New Worlds Appearance by Cardian So as not to conflict with Star Trek: The Original Series Canon. But Rhys Darby can easily and delightfully play an actor with a dark secret. Cardian’s daughter, Lenore (Barbara Anderson) was 19 in Star Trek: The Original Series When she killed those who suspected Anton was Kodos, and she would be about 12 or 13 in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Jones is infamous for selling tribbles at deep space station K-7Which quickly turned into thousands and infected not only the station but the starship enterprise. Cyrano Jones returned in the Star Trek: The Animated Series Episode, “More Troubles, More Troubles.”
Another scandal, Harcourt Fenton “Harry” Mudd is played by Rainn Wilson in Star Trek: Discovery, But Harry Mudd didn’t refer in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
however, Strange New Worlds would likely know Cyrano Jones before he began making a living by trafficking tribbles, which canonically began in 2261.
