About: William Shatner has notched up an impressive 50-plus years in front of the camera, most recently displaying comedic talent, and being instantly recognizable to several generations of cult television fans as the square-jawed Captain James T. Kirk, commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise. Shatner spent many years honing his craft in television and live theater before debuting alongside Yul Brynner in Los hermanos Karamazov (1958). He was kept busy during the 1960s in films such as Vencedores o William Shatner has notched up an impressive 50-plus years in front of the camera, most recently displaying comedic talent, and being instantly recognizable to several generations of cult television fans as the square-jawed Captain James T. Kirk, commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise. Shatner spent many years honing his craft in television and live theater before debuting alongside Yul Brynner in Los hermanos Karamazov (1958). He was kept busy during the 1960s in films such as Vencedores o vencidos (1961) and The Intruder (1962) and on television guest-starring in dozens of series such as "Alfred Hitchcock presenta" (1955), "Los defensores" (1961), "Rumbo a lo desconocido" (1963) and "Dimensión desconocida" (1959). In 1966, Shatner boarded the USS Enterprise for three seasons of "La conquista del espacio" (1966), co-starring alongside Leonard Nimoy, with the series eventually becoming a bona-fide cult classic with a worldwide legion of fans known as "Trekkies".

After "Star Trek" folded, Shatner spent the rest of the decade and the 1970s making the rounds guest-starring on many prime-time television series, including "Hawai 5-0" (1968), "Marcus Welby" (1969) and "Ironside" (1967). He has also appeared in several feature films, but they were mainly B-grade (or lower) fare such as the embarrassingly bad Euro western Comanche blanco (1968) and the campy Tarántula (1977). However, the 1980s saw a major resurgence in Shatner's career with the renewed interest in the original "La conquista del espacio" (1966) series culminating in a series of big-budget "Star Trek" feature films including Star Trek - La película (1979), Star Trek II - La ira de Khan (1982), Star Trek III - En busca de Spock (1984), Misión: salvar la Tierra (1986), Star Trek V: La última frontera (1989) and Aquel país desconocido (1991). In addition, he starred in the lightweight police series "T.J. Hooker" (1982) from 1982 to 1986, alongside spunky Heather Locklear, and surprised many fans with his droll comedic talents in Aterriza como puedas II (1982), Con el arma a punto (1993) and Miss Agente Especial (2000).

He has most recently been starring in the David E. Kelley television series "El abogado" (1997) and its spin-off "Boston Legal" (2004). ... (more)

However, life always has a way of catching up with people dealing with the dreaded disease of alcoholism. After winning his own battle with the bottle, Shatner met and married a beautiful model named Nerine. Unfortunately, she was a hopeless alcoholic.
