The upcoming new movie John Winston plays is Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan which will be released on Jun 04, 1982.

John Winston's major contribution to popular culture was his portrayal of Lt. Kyle on the original series of Star Trek. His character, appearing in a total of 11 episodes, was either seen as a transporter operator or as part of bridge personnel where he would mostly act as a helmsman. He also appeared in 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan' as Kyle. Unfortunately, his character was never given enough screen time or dialog to make him a recognizable name except among diehard Star Trek fans. Incidentally, his character Kyle appeared in 'Star Trek: The Animated Series', but the character was voiced by James Doohan (Star Trek's 'Scotty') for budgetary reasons, and in 'Star Trek New Voyages: Phase II' the character Kyle was played by Jay Storey, though Winston appeared in one episode as "Captain Jefferies".
