William Shatner on the Original Series and Future Projects

Features

By GustavoLeao / 00:11, 16 February 2012 / General Star Trek

LAWeekly posted a new interview with William Shatner and here are excerpts.

Did you come here looking for work or with work?

They sent for me, and I went back and forth. My first experiences here in film were The Brothers Karamazov. In TV, probably The Twilight Zone. Star Trek came along: I received a phone call from [Star Trek producer] Gene Roddenberry. He said that they had made a pilot, and would I come and see it with the idea they wanted to recast it, with me playing the captain.

After April, the tour will be over. What's next on your plate?

There are two horse shows I've got to compete in, there's my own horse show benefiting children's charities, then I've got to shoot a series that I host called Weird or What? [Discovery Channel/History Channel (Canada)] in May, then I've got contracts to do two documentaries that we've sold in Canada and I hope will sell here. They're about food, the nature of food, the other is who goes to conventions, who turns up at health convention, a Xena convention, a fantasy convention. And then there's the prospect of doing TV or movies.

The full interview is here.

I am a huge Shatner fan, but I won't pay to see his show, 'Shatner's World' in Philly. Tickets for two are over $600.00 !!!

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.
