    But why would the headcanon of an actor be more important than any other

    Idk perhaps because actors can imbue characters with unwritten properties through their portrayal?

        Depends on the character, but usually the first one has the strongest effects, yes. It’s not out of the question for later actors to do the same thing, but very often in recastings like Sulu, the latter actor will emulate the former — to a degree at least.
