Captain Christopher "Chris" Pike is a character in the Star Trek
science fiction franchise. He was portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter in the
original Star Trek pilot episode, "The Cage", as captain of the USS
Enterprise. When this pilot was rejected, Hunter withdrew from the
series, and Pike was replaced with Captain James T. Kirk (William
Shatner). The subsequent Star Trek episode "The Menagerie" uses
footage from "The Cage" within a framing story, featuring Sean Kenney
as an older, scarred and disabled Pike. Bruce Greenwood portrays a
version of Pike in the films Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into
Darkness (2013), which take place in an alternative timeline. The
second season of Star Trek: Discovery, which is set before "The
Menagerie" but after "The Cage", has Pike (now played by Anson Mount)
assume temporary command of the USS Discovery.According to dialogue in
"The Cage", he is from the city of Mojave on Earth and once owned a
horse named Tango.Pike is the second captain of the USS Enterprise
NCC-1701 and the first to be shown in Star Trek canon. Star Trek: The
Animated Series reveals that Captain Robert April predated Pike, and
printed Star Trek fiction and reference books also identify April as
Pike's predecessor. Pike took command of the USS Enterprise in the
year 2250, at the age of 38, taking over command from Robert April,
who commanded the Enterprise for five years.At the beginning of "The
Cage", set in the year 2254, Pike and his crew are recuperating from a
mission to Rigel VII during which several members of the landing party
were killed by the inhabitants. The incident filled Pike with so much
guilt that he is considering resigning his commission. Christopher Pike (Star Trek) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
