Early-life:
William Alan Shatner was born on March 22, 1931, in Quebec, Canada. His father was a clothing manufacturer. William attended Verdun High School and gained a Bachelor of Commerce degree from McGill University in Montreal. He was raised in a Jewish household and claims he was the victim of anti-semitism while growing up. After catching the acting bug he moved to New York in 1956, initially working on live TV dramas. He also understudied for Christopher Plummer in a stage production of Henry V.
Career:
Shatner spent years as a jobbing actor, appearing in such movies as The Brothers Karamazov and The Intruder, as well as The Twilight Zone TV series before Star Trek made him a household name in 1966. He played Captain Kirk for three years before the show was cancelled, then appeared in numerous TV shows and movies before Star Trek: The Motion Picture relaunched his career in 1979. He starred as Kirk in six more films before the character was finally killed off in 1994. He has also featured in TJ Hooker, Free Enterprise and Miss Congeniality and its sequel. Shatner returned to TV in 2004 in the series Boston Legal. In 2010, he starred in his first sitcom, $#*! My Dad Says. Away from showbusiness, he's written several sci-fi novels, recorded a number of much-criticised albums and is a champion horse breeder.
Quote:
On his most famous character: "We were basically one and the same, although Kirk was just about perfect, and, of course, I am perfect."
Trivia:
In 2005, Shatner won a Golden Globe for his role on Boston Legal. He has also released several albums featuring his unique versions of popular songs.
