'Star Trek Beyond' Guessing Game: Who Are These Two Actors With Director Justin Lin?

Yesterday, Star Trek Beyond director Justin Lin posted the photo above of himself with two actors on the set, and offered a signed Star Trek Beyond T-shirt and poster to the first person who could correctly identify the well-disguised pair. “I know this will probably be a tough one,” Lin warned, “since the casting of these two actors hasn’t been announced yet and you won’t find them listed on IMDb. So here’s a hint–I’ve worked with them both before STB.”

Apparently, it wasn’t that tough because, by the end of the day, Lin updated the blog post and announced that he’d be sending T-shirts and posters to several people who guessed correctly.
A scroll through the comments reveals that a number of the guesses focused on folks Lin had directed in a Fast and Furious film. Vin Diesel, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kim Kold, and Tyrese Gibson all were mentioned. Danny Pudi, directed by Lin in episodes of Community, was repeatedly offered as well.

Take a look at that photo. Who do you think those people are? We won’t give you a T-shirt or a poster for guessing correctly, but when Lin later reveals their true identities on his blog, we can promise that if you’re right, you’ll feel a deep sense of satisfaction.
