William Shatner Biography (Age, Height, Weight, Girlfriend & More)<\/p>\n

William Shatner OC is a Canadian actor who was born on March 22, 1931. From his 1965 debut as the captain of the starship Enterprise in the second pilot of the first Star Trek television series to his final appearance as Captain Kirk in the seventh Star Trek feature film, Star Trek Generations, he is best known for his portrayal of James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise (1994).<\/p>\n

Shatner started his film and television acting career in Canadian films and productions before going on to guest parts on numerous US television series. He played James Kirk in every episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, 21 of 22 episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series, and all seven Star Trek movies.<\/p>\n

He’s published a series of novels on his experiences before, during, and after his service in Starfleet. He has also co-written many books based in the Star Trek world, as well as the TekWar series of science fiction novels, which have been adapted for television.<\/p>\n

Outside of Star Trek, Shatner starred as the titular veteran police sergeant in T. J. Hooker (1982\u20131986) and hosted the reality-based television series Rescue 911 (1989\u20131996), which earned a People’s Choice Award for Favourite New TV Dramatic Series.<\/p>\n

His guest appearances in two episodes of the television detective series Columbo, over two decades apart, were among his numerous similar contributions to television programs from the 1970s through the 2010s.<\/p>\n

Following his last appearance as James Kirk, Shatner’s television career spanned comedy, drama, and reality series. He portrayed the extraterrestrial “Big Giant Head” to whom the main protagonists reported in seasons 4 and 5 of the NBC series 3rd Rock from the Sun.<\/p>\n

From 2004 through 2008, he portrayed attorney Denny Crane in the last season of The Practice and its spinoff Boston Legal, a role that garnered him two Emmy Awards, one for each series. In 2016, 2017, and 2018, he appeared in both seasons of NBC’s Better Late Than Never, a comedic travel show about an ageing celebrity group touring East Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n

Aside from performing, Shatner has a singing career that began in 1968 with his album The Transformed Man. His cover renditions of songs are dramatic recitations of their lyrics rather than musical performances; his interpretations of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” are prominent examples.<\/p>\n

Comedians have often mocked his performance of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” when he presented the 5th Saturn Awards in 1978. Seeking Major Tom (2011), his third album, was his most popular, with renditions of Pink Floyd’s “Learning to Fly,” David Bowie’s “Space Oddity,” and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”<\/p>\n

Shatner traveled into space on a Blue Origin suborbital spaceship in 2021. He became the oldest person to travel in space at the age of 90, and one of the first 600 to do so.\u00a0 He recounted witnessing the overview effect minutes after landing.<\/p>\n
