Jennifer Morrison In Star Trek

TV Guide's Ausiello Report has confirmed that House's Jennifer Morrison has been cast in Star Trek XI. This verifies the rumored casting from set pics released on the web last week.

This news comes directly from JJ Abrams who said "She is indeed in the movie and she is most excellent!" He also denied reports that she is playing Yeoman Janice Rand which to me more or less verifies that role is for Rachel Nichols. As for what her role is, Abrams didn't say. About the only other blond from that time period that would be "known" is Dr. Carol Marcus, future ex girlfriend of mother to Kirk's son David Marcus that died in Star Trek III.
