Wahlberg right now is the perfect age to play the TOS era Kirk.

He has the right build.

Match up pics of the two, there is a closer resemblance between Wahlberg and Shatner than Pine and Shatner.

Most of all, Wahlberg has the attitude for Kirk, the cocky swagger that Shatner brought to the character.

And I bet Wahlberg could master the flying drop kick...

I mean, Wahlberg hasn't been "Marky Mark" for a LONG time now...
