But the way 'The Lone Ranger' performed at the box office, we're starting to think this approach is getting a little stale. After all, he has done it A LOT.

George Takei as Every Character in ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’
This past weekend J.J. Abrams unleashed the second entry in his rebooted 'Star Trek' franchise, 'Star Trek Into Darkness.' With Kirk, Spock, Uhura and company back in theaters, we've been giddily revisiting all things Enterprise, and we realized there is one thing this reboot demands more of: George Takei.

We know what would solve 'The Great Gatsby's' mixed reviews -- replacing the entire cast with cats!

Cats driving old-timey cars???? If you're having a hard time imagining all this, we made these post
