Executive Producer Rob Caves announced in October 2007 that Brandon McConnell would be taking over the role of Ro Nevin. McConnell debuted as Ro Nevin in episode 2 of Odyssey, "The Wine Dark Sea."[5]

McConnell said of his role as Ro Nevin: "They're pushing the boundary just like Gene Roddenberry's vision of Star Trek. I respect that a lot. To not say anything is to become stagnant, is to stand still. I think anyone who is a fan of Star Trek doesn't need to be beaten over the head by some political statement. The subtlety adds to the realism."[6][7]

This is the second time that the character has been recast. The character was played by Arthur Bosserman in Star Trek: Hidden Frontier seasons 2 - 5, and by Bobby Rice in seasons 6 - 7 (as well as in the pilot episode of Star Trek: Odyssey).

Mark Lund, producer and writer of First World [8] and a judge on the FOX TV show Skating with Celebrities, played Commander Steven Connor on the Pilot episode, "Iliad." Filming of the second episode of Odyssey, "The Wine Dark Sea", was covered by GMTV in August 2007, with presenter Ross King taking a guest role in the episode as a medical ensign.[9] Renowned voice actor Michael McConnohie appeared in the season 1 finale as an Alosian overseer (he also appeared in another Hidden Frontier spinoff, The Helena Chronicles, as a Cardassian pirate).[10]
