American casting director who, with Alyssa Weisberg, found the new actors to play Kirk, Spock and the rest of the original crew for the 2009 film Star Trek.
April Webster, J.J. Abrams's regular casting director, cast Star Trek in 2009 together with Alyssa Weisberg.
The job meant recasting the most familiar characters in the franchise: Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Karl Urban as McCoy, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Simon Pegg as Scott, John Cho as Sulu and Anton Yelchin as Chekov.
She returned for Star Trek Into Darkness in 2013, which added Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller to the ensemble.
