Is it just me or does Simon Pegg look far more like Tim Conway than Scotty? (Dorf references are still relevant, right?)

TrekMovie is reporting that Karl Urban, of Pathfinder and Lord of the Rings, may be up for the role of Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy in JJ Abrams' Star Trek sequel. I was picturing someone with blue eyes, but he does have the necessary gross little wart things on his face. Maybe this will work.
