Montreal, Quebec, Canada:
William Shatner (* 22. März 1931 in Montreal) ist ein kanadischer Schauspieler, Sänger und Autor. Einem breiten Publikum ist er vor allem durch seine Rollen als Captain Kirk in Raumschiff Enterprise, als T. J. Hooker in der gleichnamigen Serie und als Denny Crane in der Anwaltsserie Boston Legal bekannt. 1956 zog er nach New York City und arbeitete dort für das Fernsehen und am Broadway, wo Filmproduzenten auf ihn aufmerksam wurden. Sein erster Auftritt in einem Kinofilm war 1958 in Die Brüder Karamasow, wo er die Rolle des Alexej Karamasow spielte; drei Jahre später folgte ein Auftritt in Das Urteil von Nürnberg an der Seite von Spencer Tracy. Sein Debüt als Hauptdarsteller in einer Fernsehserie lieferte er in For the People, die von Januar bis Mai 1965 ausgestrahlt wurde. Weltbekannt wurde Shatner durch seine Rolle als Captain Kirk in der Fernsehserie Raumschiff Enterprise, deren drei Staffeln von September 1966 bis September 1969 liefen. In der ursprünglichen Pilotfolge der Serie, The Cage, spielte er noch nicht mit; in ihr verkörperte Jeffrey Hunter die Rolle des Captain Pike, der vor Kirk das Kommando über die Enterprise hatte. Anfang der 1970er Jahre lebte Shatner aus Geldnot einige Zeit in einem Pick-up. Später spielte Shatner wieder Kirk in den ersten sieben Teilen der Star-Trek-Kinofilmreihe (1979–1994), beim fünften Film führte er auch Regie. Weitere Filme mit William Shatner sind zum Beispiel Der Hund von Baskerville (1972) und Die Entführung des Präsidenten (1980) mit Ava Gardner und Hal Holbrook sowie zwei Folgen der US-Krimireihe Columbo. Von 1982 bis 1986 spielte er in der Krimiserie T.J. Hooker erneut eine Hauptrolle und führte auch bei mehreren Episoden Regie. 1993 übernahm er in der Komödie Loaded Weapon eine Nebenrolle. Zwischen 1994 und 1996 entstanden vier Fernsehfilme und 18 Serienfolgen von Tek War – Krieger der Zukunft, basierend auf den gleichnamigen Science-Fiction-Romanen Shatners. Hier spielte er als Walter Bascom in einer Nebenrolle mit und übernahm beim ersten Film sowie bei zwei Folgen der Serie die Regie. Nach der Independent-Komödie Free Enterprise (1998), in der Shatner sich selbst parodiert, folgten weitere Rollen in Filmen wie Miss Undercover (2000), Showtime (2002) und Voll auf die Nüsse (2004). Von 2004 bis 2008 spielte er an der Seite von James Spader die Rolle des Denny Crane in der Justizserie Boston Legal, für die er 2005 den Emmy als bester Nebendarsteller in einer Dramaserie und den Golden Globe als bester Nebendarsteller in einer Fernsehproduktion erhielt. Daneben moderierte er ab November 2006 die wöchentliche Spielshow Show Me the Money beim US-Fernsehsender ABC, die nach wenigen Folgen eingestellt wurde. Außerdem war Shatner in Werbesendungen für das Internetangebot Priceline und das Computerspiel World of Warcraft zu sehen. Seit Dezember 2008 tritt er als Gastgeber der Talkshow Shatner’s Raw Nerve für The Biography Channel auf, in der er Prominente befragt. Von September 2010 bis Februar 2011 spielte Shatner in der von CBS ausgestrahlten Sitcom Shit! My Dad Says die Rolle des Vaters. Quelle: Wikipedia
