Attention all Star Trek geeks. Oops, I mean "fans."

From a co-worker


Bob, we saw the new Star Trek movie today. It's very very good. They obviously spent a lot of time on the script.

But, there's a scene set in a bar where Kirk meets Uhura, and I swear the ugly old alien sitting between them is Tom Waits. Don't know if it's CGI or if it's actually Tom Waits in a latex mask, but it's definitely him. Here are two links to the clip:

My friend "artmaven" on the Tom Waits Fan Forums spotted this so credit her for the observation.
