Sandro Rosta

Sandro Rosta is a British‑Canadian film actor who became known for his role as Cadet Caleb Mir in the U.S. television series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

Education

Rosta completed a three‑year acting program at the Oxford School of Drama, graduating in 2024, having previously attended the school's one‑year Foundation Course in 2020/21.[1]

Career

Rosta initially appeared mainly on stage shortly after completing his training. He made his professional debut at the Hampstead Theatre in the production The Harmony Test.[2] During his training, he had also performed in plays such as Romeo and Juliet, The Cherry Orchard, and The Watsons.[1][3]

Television and film

Rosta landed his first major screen role in the television series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which premiered on the streaming service Paramount+ in January 2026. In the series, he portrays the human cadet Caleb Mir, a member of the newly re‑established Starfleet Academy.[4] Rosta was cast after being selected from over 400 candidates following a chemistry read with the co-star Holly Hunter, whose immediate connection with him convinced the showrunners of his authenticity.[5]

Previously, Rosta had taken part in the CA$5,000‑budgeted student project Snitches Get Stitches (2021), directed by Aaron Rubinoff, a thesis film created by students at the RTA School of Media at Ryerson University.[6]

In January 2026, Rosta appeared together with Holly Hunter and other cast members of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on NBC's Kelly Clarkson Show to promote the series.[7]
