The 'Angel' singer voiced Dougal in animated movie Magic Roundabout in 2005 and has been offered a number of film roles ever since.
So far he has turned down a series of parts, but he is said to be a big Star Trek fan and is keen to revive Kirk.
Lost creator JJ Abrams said about him: "I think he'd be quite a good Captain Kirk. The Kirk in my movie is quite young, it's the early years."
