All 7 Main Star Trek Captains, Ranked Worst To Best
From James T. Kirk to Michael Burnham, seven captains have led their own Star Trek shows, but how do stack up against one another?
Unspokenis inspired by true events that happened on the day of the Russian invasion. This premise will be inherently gripping, asaudiences have been captivated by similarly tragic stories through series such asChernobyl. Wesley’s casting in the lead role, however, brings an additional appeal toUnspoken. In addition to his recent role onStar Trek: Strange New Worlds, Wesley also had a notable role playing Stefan Salvatore inThe Vampire Diaries.

Unspoken Is Also A Good Opportunity For Wesley
In addition to being a draw for the series,Unspokenwill be a good opportunity for Wesley as an actor. He has played supporting roles in multiple series, butUnspokenwill really be a great chance for Wesley to step out into a leading role with great dramatic possibility.
