Which actor played Captain Robert April in Star Trek (2009)?

Captain Robert April does not appear in Star Trek (2009).

Robert April was the first captain of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek’s fictional chronology, but he is not a character in the 2009 feature film. The movie instead begins with George Kirk commanding the Enterprise during its construction-era crisis, followed later by Christopher Pike and then James T. Kirk.

Ben Cross played Sarek, Spock’s father, in the film, while Bruce Greenwood played Christopher Pike. Peter Weller played the villainous Starfleet officer and later admiral Marcus in Star Trek Into Darkness, not the 2009 film.

This distinction matters because “Captain April” is associated with Star Trek’s expanded backstory and with the animated series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, rather than with the cast of the 2009 theatrical reboot. The wording identifies a non-appearance, making the correct response that no actor played him.
