Ben Cross' reviews for STAR TREK
transbuddha.comSarek as well (played here by Ben Cross) is the most empathetic we’ve ever seen him portrayed.
ondeafears.comFor a second I thought Ben Cross was Mark Lenard returned from the dead.
thecomicbookcatacombs.comBruce Greenwood was an outstanding choice for Captain Pike and the same goes for Ben Cross as Spock’s father, Sarek
Culture Vulture
He’s excellent in the role, and gets a chance to deliver amazing lines, some unexpected.

Ben Cross is a great actor and I hope we see more of him as the sequels follow.
Zachary Quinto agrees! He says in a recent interview
"I would love to see Ben Cross involved with the next film," Quinto added. "I had a great time working with him. I think he brings a real austere depth to Sarek, and ... his work is really, really great."

Ben Cross bio
A Graduate of RADA and Royal Shakespeare Company, British leading man Ben Cross made an impressive film debut as Olympic athlete Harold Abrahams in Chariots of Fire (1981). Cross' participation in this Oscar-winning film immediately opened up new professional doors beginning with the BBC adaptation of A.J. Cronin's The Citadel and the critically acclaimed Far Pavilions for HBO.
Over his career Ben has starred in many prestegious film and television productions, including Paper House, Live Wire, First Knight, Dark Shadows, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Exorcist: The Beginning, and recently Wicked Little Things where he plays a rural pig farmer that becomes a reluctant hero.
Ben can also claim orriginating the role of Billy Flynn in the West End production of Chicago. Recently Ben returned to the boards in the West End production of COYOTE ON A FENCE for which he received critical and audience acclaim.
Ben, who now makes his home in Sofia, Bulgaria, is quite proud of two recent productions, NUREMBERG: NAZI’S ON TRIAL where he plays Rudolph Hess for the BBC, and When Nietzsche Wept as ‘Joseph Breuer’ opposite Armand Assante’s Frederick Nietzsche.
Never a stranger to taking risks, Ben just completed a starring turn opposite John Cusack in the film WAR, INC., where he plays the oddly engaging Medusa Hair. He followed WAR, INC. with HERO WANTED starring opposite Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ray Liotta.
Other recent films for Ben include FINDING RIN TIN TIN, SPECIES QUATRO the continuation of the successful SPECIES film franchise for MGM, ICON, GRENDAL and UNDISPUTED 2.
Now Ben is going where only a few men have gone before....... taking on the role of Ambassador Sarek (Mr. Spock’s father) in the new Paramount Pictures film STAR TREK for director J.J. Abrams.
