William Shatner

William Shatner (born 22 March 1931 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a Canadian actor. From 1966 to 1994, he starred as Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise, from his debut as the captain of the starship Enterprise in the second pilot of the first Star Trek television series (1966-69) to his final appearance as Captain Kirk in the seventh Star Trek feature film, Star Trek Generations (1994).

I also know him for his role as Sergeant Thomas Jefferson "T. J." Hooker in the television series T.J. Hooker (1982-86) and as the host of the docudrama series Rescue 911 (1989-96).

I met Mr Shatner at Comic Con Scotland in Edinburgh on 25 October 2026, where he signed the cover of my Star Trek IV The Voyage Home: The Official Movie Magazine for me (The Voyage Home is my favourite of the Star Trek films and he seemed surprisingly impressed by the magazine). I also had a picture taken with him.
