Looks like Abrams has cast the villain for the follow up Star Trek movie reboot.  Benedict Cumberbach, what a great name.  I first saw this guy in the BBC Sherlock update.  Great show and a fantastic actor.  If you can find and have the time, it is only 3 or 4 episodes, I highly recommend checking it out.

Also of note.  The Star Trek movie has moved its release date to May 17, 2013.  Yes that is next year. Boo!
