William Shatner

One of the last surviving cast members of the original Star Trek series, William Shatner, has been writing books to document his experience portraying the role of Captain Kirk in the movie series. He has even co-authored several novels that were set in the Star Trek universe. Those who watched Rescue 911 would also remember Shatner for his work as police sergeant TJ Hooker, even receiving a People’s Choice Award for it.

Shatner has enjoyed writing recently, and so he has been out of the limelight, though he has taken on a couple of hosting stings and a number of movie appearances. With this, he is considered a one-hit wonder, with his role as Captain Kirk being his crowning glory. Does this mean he has been forgotten? Definitely not. For the fans of Star Trek, he will forever be given credit in cosplays and conventions. He most certainly will live on.
