The soon-to-start-filming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series is adding a sixth cadet to its character roster, as today Paramount+ announced that actor Sandro Rosta is the newest member of Academy’s cast.
Rosta, a British Canadian actor and model, recently graduated from the Oxford School of Drama. During this time, he starred as Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet,” Trofimov in “The Cherry Orchard” and Tom Musgrave in “The Watsons” at the Jermyn Street Theatre. Rosta recently made his professional debut in “The Harmony Test” at Hampstead Theatre.
He will join five other actors in the show’s inaugural class, following the casting announcements of Kerrice Brooks, Bella Shepard, and George Hawkins in early July and Karim Diané and Zoë Steiner later that month.
Beyond the cadet cast, Starfleet Academy will also star Hollywood stars Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti, along with returning Star Trek: Discovery veterans Mary Wiseman, Tig Notaro, Oded Fehr, and Star Trek: Voyager star Robert Picardo.
Star Trek boss Alex Kurtzman recently shared that production on the series is set to begin later this month.
