      The very first Christopher Pike was played by Jeffery Hunter in 1965 in Star Trek The Original Series … famously known as the first Star Trek captain ever before William Shatner … saddest bit of Trek trivia is that Jeffery Hunter died at the age of 42 suddenly from a movie stunt accident in 1969 (died months after the event at his home because of a suspected head injury from the stunt). He never got to see the fame of what became of his Christopher Pike character

      The modern Christopher Pike is currently portrayed by Anson Mount in the Star Trek series - Strange New Worlds

          No problem … I figured out a long time ago that not everyone, everywhere all the time know every bit of Trek (or even movie) trivia … some know lots, some are encyclopedic, some know little and some know none. So it’s always good practice to just treat every question honestly and answer thoughtfully.
