Appendices
Background information
George Kirk was played by Chris Hemsworth.
George Kirk was mentioned in the unfilmed Star Trek: The First Adventure script as having died when his craft, the Bonaventure, disappeared during an experimental dilithium-fueled warp jump. Montgomery Scott worked with him on the project.
He may have a brother, since James T. Kirk said he was staying at his uncle's farm in Idaho in Star Trek Generations. It was never made clear which of his parents had a sibling though, or if he was just using the term for a long time family friend. In Star Trek, an uncle Frank was cut from the script and reworked into Winona's new husband heard in the film.
Apocrypha
The name "George" for James Kirk's father first originated in Vonda N. McIntyre's TOS novel Enterprise: The First Adventure.
Intel's Star Trek tie-in website gave his serial number as SA-733-9624-AM.
George Kirk was seen as the first officer of the USS Enterprise under Captain Robert April in the novel Final Frontier. In the novel, Kirk was the one responsible for convincing Captain April (who had been charged with naming the as yet-unnamed ship) to name the ship Enterprise. The cover art for the book contained a picture of him - and it bears a clear resemblance to Hemsworth, even though the actor was only four years old when the book was published.
In the Crucible trilogy, written by David R. George III, George Kirk was described as having died when his son, James, was a young boy, with no mention to the elder Kirk's career in Starfleet.
