9 | Born in Los Angeles to actor parents Creator/RobertPine and Creator/GwynneGilford, Pine was studying English at Berkeley when finally bitten by the acting bug. Prior to his breakout role as Captain James T. Kirk in ''Film/StarTrek2009'', Pine played mostly in [[RomanticComedy romantic comedies]], leading fandom to be initially wary of his casting. However, his performance in the film received accolades from critics and fans alike as well as the enthusiastic endorsement of Creator/WilliamShatner himself. |

50 | !!Examples of tropes in his roles: |
51 | |
52 | * TheCastShowoff: Besides playing Captain Kirk and other acting projects, Chris Pine is also musically talented. He belted his voice as Prince Charming in ''Film/IntoTheWoods'', and sang a parody of Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" in his SNL monologue to rant about the confusion of him and the other Hollywood Chrises. [[invoked]] |
53 | * TheCharmer: His characters are generally quite charismatic and likable. |
54 | * DeadpanSnarker: A lot of his characters have this going for them. |
55 | * SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: ''Star Trek: Into Darkness'' got this reaction from some people, and the streak only continued with ''Hell or High Water'' and ''Wonder Woman''. [[invoked]] |
56 | * LargeHam: When the situation calls for it, he can pull this trope off beautifully. His "Agony" duet in ''Film/IntoTheWoods'' would make Creator/WilliamShatner proud. |
57 | * LovableRogue: Plays these characters quite often. |
58 | * MrFanservice: |
59 | ** His bedroom scene in ''Film/StarTrek2009'' heavily features all of the above. |
60 | ** So does his bath scene in ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}''. |
61 | ** His SNL monlogue song lampshades his tendency to do this in real life as well: Kate [=McKinnon=] points out that he (and all the Chrises) frequently wear "raggedy tees that are tight just around the pecs". |
62 | * OhCrap: He gets a ton of these moments in ''Film/StarTrek2009''. |
63 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: His character in ''Princess Diaries 2'' usually has an English accent. |
64 | * ProductionPosse: He's been in the two Wonder Woman films as well as a series and he has also made two films with David Mackenzie. |
65 | * StarMakingRole: James Kirk in ''Film/StarTrek2009''. [[invoked]] |
66 | * WhatBeautifulEyes: His blue eyes are quite striking and often given a lot of focus in his roles. |
