James Cawley (born June 23, 1967) is an American executive film producer and actor, known for his role as Captain Kirk in the fan series originally known as Star Trek: New Voyages, now titled Star Trek: Phase II.

Star Trek: Phase II

A big Star Trek fan growing up, in 1997 Cawley began collecting props and costumes from the original series and acquired the original Enterprise blueprints when he interned on Star Trek: The Next Generation. He went on to spend over $100,000 of his money and monies donated by fans constructing near-flawless recreations of sets in an abandoned car dealership in Port Henry, New York. Cawley and fellow Star Trek fans gathered together to begin shooting new episodes and by 2003 a pilot “Come What May” was shot as a proof of concept.

Other projects

Cawley’s prominent role in Star Trek: New Voyages gave him the opportunity to play small roles in a few other Star Trek fan episodes. He played Mackenzie Calhoun in the 41st Star Trek: Hidden Frontier episode Vigil, and had a cameo as Captain Kirk along with ‘’New Voyages’’ co-stars Jeff Quinn and John Kelley in the premiere episode Starship Farragut.

The starship Ticonderoga in the Enterprise episode "The Aenar" was named as a nod to Cawley's hometown. His sets, props and costumes have also been used by Star Trek: Enterprise in the episode In a Mirror, Darkly and in the fan film Of Gods and Men in which Cawley also plays one of Captain Kirk's nephews. In addition to producing more episodes of Phase II, Cawley appeared in the new Star Trek movie.

Cawley's "day job" is as an Elvis impersonator.
