William Shatner on His Favorite Memories From Star Trek | TV Greats

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2024
- William Shatner is one of ET’s ‘TV grEaTs!’ The actor, whose career spans over seven decades, reflects on some of the highs and lows of his journey within the industry. Shatner gets candid about being broke after ‘Star Trek’s first three-year run, his relationship with his late co-star, Leonard Nimoy, what it was like to be the oldest person to travel to space in 2021 and much more. Shatner shares how his experiences have also inspired his newest projects, including his album, ‘So Fragile, So Blue’ and his documentary, ‘ You Can Call Me Bill,’ which are both out now.
93 years and still kicking. Wow. What a legend... LLAP
I remember watching William Shatner in the 1970's when Star Trek and the Outer Limits was playing on reruns on TV. I am amazed he is still as virile as back then,
The man's 93 and SHARP AS A WHIP!!!
IKR??!!!! I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM. Always, lol
HE'S RIDING A HORSE! Doesn't anyone have the guts to tell him that he can't ride a horse because it's not safe (not that he'd listen).
@@ibosquez5238 If the guy can withstand space travel, he can withstand horse-riding.
@@mr.metamovies2419
I worried about that too! Does he not know that he's 93?
@@ibosquez5238 He just doesn't care lol. Age never stopped him.
If only we could all age so beautifully
I really admire Shatner 93 and still busy working. What a force of nature
he is one of my favorite actors.
I wish someone would get Shatner to watch the top five Star Trek episodes and record his running on-camera commentary. It would be a huge hit.
It really would. That's a great idea.
He said... write a big enough check... ;-P
Oh YES, I really think the world NEEDS this! For so many reasons:
1. Star Trek is so iconic, it would be historically tragic not to have even one episode with commentary by Bill himself.
2. Watching it would probably jog his memory of things he'd forgotten and give us all some fresh stories/anecdotes
3. The trivia this man could share about that show would be unmatched to any other kind of commentary
4. It would be amazing to actually see Shatner really watch an episode for the first time in his life.
5. It would be so wonderful to know there are Trek episodes you can sit down and "watch with Shatner".
6. These recordings WOULD be a huge hit, surely financially profitable to anyone who organized it. (Personally I'd much rather have this than see Bill revise his character in a modern show.)
7. It would be the original series' ONLY commentary recorded by a member of the cast. Shatner and Nimoy did commentaries for some of the movies, but the only TOS commentaries we have are from a handful of writers.
8. I think it would give a sense of "full circle" for Bill to go back, near the end of his life, and revisit the beginning of his journey to superstardom
Good list, Scripture-Man. It’s not talked about enough, but I think that many episodes had many outstanding acting performances. I am also a big fan of the cinematography and lighting of Jerry Finnerman who played a key part in creating the classic look. In fact, given the very low budget, what they pulled off with writing, sets, wardrobe, lack of fx, etc. was amazing.
@@CaesarDarias Agreed. Almost miraculous. Every man and woman involved were all just there at the right time and place, and all their ideas came together so perfectly. :-)
His cognitive health and speech capabilities aren't slowed down dramatically despite his age (a very healthy brain basically). Blessed by God, he's a treasure.
Love the original Star Trek forever.
Same!!
“Beam me up, Scotty” vanished from all tapes, new or old, William says he never said those words. Mandela Effect.
@@Summerof-gi5mq I know, where did it come from? I thought he said it.
@@crystalheart9 Yes he used to say “beam me Scotty” in almost every episode. Do you remember Walt Disney cartoon “Snow White”, where the witch says “Mirror mirror on the wall”...? Well, check the cartoon now, the witch says: “MAGIC MIRROR on the wall....”. Have you read the novel “Portrait of Dorian Gray”? Now the book morphed to “Picture of Dorian Gray”. Or the Lucy show, her husband used to say all the time: “Lucy you have some splainin to do”. Those words vanished from all tapes, new or old. If you are a fan of James Bond movies and you saw MOONRAKER then you probably remember Dolly and her braces... Well, check the scene now (where she and Jaws just meet), the braces are gone. Have you seen Disneys Cartoon “The Jungle Book”, there is a scene where the bear dances wearing a coconut bra. The scene is still there but the coconut bra is gone! The series “Star Trek” started with the intro: “Space THE final frontier”, now it is “Space, A final frontier”. And tons of other changes. Many people say that CERN is behind those changes. It’s partially true. It’s all about spiritual warfare, ex: Ephesians 6:12: - “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”. To understand what exactly is this new “phenomenon” one has to read King James Bible, everything is explained there very well. It’s spiritual warfare, no more no less. Tons of people out there say there is no such thing as Mandela Effect, you just have bad memory. Never listen to what they say, they just want to block the truth. There are also sites on Google that say that lately people began to misremembering things. “Bridge OVER the River Kwai” is now “Bridge ON the River Kwai”.
@@crystalheart9 Just left an answer here , it was instantly deleted by TH-cam. Will try again....
I'm currently watching the original Star Trek again and it's as good as ever.
Do you remember him saying “Beam me up Scotty”? You wont find these words in the new videos. Those words vanished from all tapes - new or old.
@@Summerof-gi5mq I'm sure I did.
@@geoffjoffy youtube keeps erasing my answer!
@@geoffjoffy either the channel or youtube keeps erasing my answer. I think they don't like the word b ut) ch
@@Summerof-gi5mq It does that to me too.
But not for a long time.
Fantastic interview! I saw pictures this weekend of Bill visiting the official Star Trek Set Tour attraction in Ticonderoga, NY. He goes there every year to share stories with fans. And on a personal note, I had a 10 min zoom chat with Bill during Covid thanks to GalaxyCon Live. It was a wonderful conversation about making the most out of life... that our future can be a great adventure no matter how old we are!
How amazing! Jealous🤣
I love that quote at the end.
Inspiring and definitely true in every way. I hope more people take it to their heart.
I got goosebumps as he was saying it.
What an icon, and a true Legend you are in your own life time. May you live long and prosper Mr Shatner.
You said it, but we were thinking it.
Bless this dude -- He truly is himself and no one else. 🖖
I will love him forever ❤
An admirable human being. I love him since I was 14 years old...!! I'm 57 now...!!!
I loved him since I was 14 too, however I'll be 72 this month!
What a lovely interview with Bill! Most enjoyable and meaningful too.
Astonishingly, in such a personality driven career, at 93 Shatner has evolved into a sage with great wisdom! A role model that has not disappointed..
Incredible and wonderful that Captain Kirk himself is still with us and still on great form! Such a talent. Not often mentioned, but I love his two appearances in Columbo. “Fade in to Murder” is quite possibly my favorite Columbo episode. Nimoy's episode is also one of the very best.
We love you Bill. You got us started on Trek when we were all kids. We still love Trek. Go Boldly
If you remember the old series, then you must remember “Beam me up Scotty”. Those words vanished from ALL Star Trek videos, new or old, William says he NEVER said it. It’s called the Mandela Effect.
@@Summerof-gi5mq It's a classic line to be sure.
I love his legacy- help somebody along the way and that person will help somebody else and the good deed will keep going on and on forever.
THE GUY!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE HIM.
He's still doing so well! When I see the photos of him from the original show that I watched when I was 16 he still makes my heart flutter. My gosh he was so handsome and great as Captain Kirk. I still love the original Star Trek the best!🖖💙🪐🚀
Canadian Hero ..never forget
I think Leonard Nimoy is Canadian too? Some great people from Canada.
...thought he was from Iowa
🤣😂
@@crystalheart9 No, Nimoy is from Boston. His parents were from the Ukraine.
@@dovgoldstein3755 That would be James Tiberius Kirk you are thinking about.
I met him at a con. For someone growing up at the beginning of the space race. That show was a hope for a better future than we have now.
I still hope it'll happen. Bill, De, Len, Nichelle, George, Jim, Walter, Grace, Gene, Majel and those who were extras and guest stars on the show that gave us hope for a better tomorrow. Thank you!🙂🖖
Still sharp as track! Amazing. He's a national treasure.
"The City On The Edge of Forever" was the greatest Star Trek episode.
If you've never seen it, you are in for a real treat.
🌌
Long Live Shatner!
93? Amazing. I'm not that sharp now!
I hope he lives another 10 years. That said, if they don't cast him in the next Star Trek movie, then they are severe db&gs. We may never get him again as Captain Kirk.
Nimoys cameo worked great so he could be in it meeting Chris Pine.
Remember... "Picard" has his body in stasis at the Daystrom Center... ;-P
They tried. He didn't like the script. And they wouldn't meet his price.
I doubt there'll be another Star Trek movie. Not after those last turds of movies.
William Shatner still as sharp as ever. Would be great if William Shatner Captain Kirk came back somehow in a star trek movie.
GOD BLESS SHATNER LIVE LONG AND PROSPER
The greatest captain.
One of the greatest actors ever easily...great honest giving hero
He was georgious, the first man I ever noticed in my life.❤
You Are A Truly Wonderful Human Being. Thank You So So Very Much For All You've Done And Continue To Do Mr. Shatner. You've Made A Huge Difference In My Life. I Am Truly Blessed To Have Been Able To Grow Up With The Magesty And Truly Magical Star Trek. Much Love
His mind and voice is amazing u would not know if only listening if he was 30 or his age now
I can’t stand billboards, but there is one “Bill-board” that puts a smile on my face every single time I see it:
“Boldly Go!”
- William Shatner
Look and listen to this guy at 90! He should still be sitting in the Captain's chair. Absolutely Criminal that Kirk was killed off 20 Years Ago in a mediocre Star Trek Film.
30 years.
He is doing so well for his age
Bill is and will always be my greatest hero. Captain Kirk is a close second. Love ya Bill!💫
I love him so much that this made me weepy.
Shatner is such a versatile actor. James T. Kirk, T.J. Hooker, and Denny Crane. Three great characters of televison and film. And he nailed all three of them.
William is very handsome
This man is amazing. I'll bet he outlives all the original cast members. Hey, after all,
he IS the captain. 😉
I wish him good health and happiness past the age of 100. He is a remarkable man. His tomb stone should read "Beam me up God."
If you own a box set of the original Star Trek shows, google in which order the episodes were filmed and then watch them in that order because they did not air in the order they were filmed. Man Trap was the first episode to air but not the first to be produced. It's interesting to see how the show and characters evolved on their own and with each other.
I'M TOOOOOO IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN❤
How is this guy in his 90s?
Well you be surprised
He's a living example that you don't let age define who you are and what you're capable of doing, when you stay young in your mind your body responds in kind.
Hands down, absolutely amazing closing words of the man himself about good deeds and helping others. You know, like in the movie "Pay it foward". Bless you Mister Shatner. Speaking as a fan from (east) Germany who grew up with Star Trek since i watched a re-run on Sat1 back in 1988 when i was just ca. 4 years old (Star Trek was incredibly popular in the former GDR). One of the best things that happened to me in these early years of my life and some of my earliest vivid memories. I have nothing but the upmost respect for Mister Shatners works and his charities. 😊
Bill is such a great example to what it is to be alive and ever searching for one's answers and questions ...
D.A.
I have to say that Mr. Shatner looks great at 93. I sincerely hope he can hang on and make it to 100.
I like this toned down version of Bill, thoughtful and reflective.
This is beautiful. Thank you! 🫶🏼😎🫶🏼
Wow Bill looks and sounds great for a 93 year old! Good for him.
Always great to watch William Shatner. He is an inspiration. Thank you for recording and posting this. Peace, Paul
Amen. Health is wealth. He is articulate and answers questions. He said to boldly go where no one has gone before. William Shatner left us an ace that we can keep.
One of these days someone should ask him what it was like for him when he got his first cell phone. We all had that "It's real" moment. Did he play with it with his sense memory? How does he hold one now? Get him to make a call with it.
BILL: I don't like to watch myself.
ALSO BILL: Makes a dozen documentaries and interview films featuring himself and/or about himself.
Making films is very different from going back and watching oneself. He does the work, then moves on to the next project. There are others that operate that way. They don't look back but keep going forward - which keeps them young and creative in heart and mind.
Fascinating!
A most fortunate, wise and incredible person, God Bless Bill Shatner !
Its the same way a lot of people don't like listening to their own voice when their answering machine plays back their greeting message. Many actors have never watched their own roles.
Inspirational
Shatner and I exchanged a few brief words once. He's very gracious. Why he still works is beyond me, he surely doesn't have to.
Shatner. Legend
Why does he look better now than he did 10 years ago??
We need a "Shatner Reacts to Star Trek" channel!
0:51 The art style reminds me of those Golden Children's Bible books from back in the day.
6:55 Kirk-Fu didn't work on George.
Poor old guy. Still falling for that ''global warming'' stuff. Shatner is one of my favorite actors. His technique and intensity has impressed me since I was a kid.
Canadian legend .
Wonderful interview. 👏
What a great living legend
I can't believe how sharp and quick witted he is at 93.. He also looks quite healthy
The 🐐
He's a legend and a good man. That should be enough for a human being.
Your legacy is the good deeds you’ve done- L❤IT!
Star Trek lives forever... the one and only original Star Trek, that is. And Shatner's Captain Kirk is the one and only true Captain Kirk... always and forever. Great actor and with such great wit and personality. May he live long and prosper... on and on. :)
Beautiful Man
I just LOVE William Shatner.
I guess he and Willie Nelson are the two most interwstibg people on earth, and theyre both in their 90s.
But Shatner is so diverse in his interests. He has such a curiosity of everything!!
He spoke about his health.
I know exactly what he means.
God Bless You Mr Shatner. Youre such a beautiful and fun spirit
Shatner is the MAN -
A lot of actors are like that. They hate to see themselves on the screen. Probably true of most people we cringe maybe at how we talk or act when seen from another persons perspective. Incase you were wondering Bill, you nailed it each and every time.
Loved character Deny Crain
You've got to hand it to Shatner: he's got the most incredible "can do" attitude.
I really hope he is tempted back into playing Kirk for one last hurrah!
This was so great...!
His words: “beam me up Scotty” vanished from all tapes, new or old, William says he NEVER said it. It’s called the “Mandela Effect”, our reality changes.
Great video. Love Shatner.
Looking good William! 👍🏾
Your comments are incredible; actually beyond belief.
Mr. Bill ! Still kicking man ! Cool. :O)
Great interview 😊
He's looking younger & younger each day! I guess that is what "Boldly Going" does for you!
He is the best! ❤
Love the man.
I can only admire this man!
93? 93! Hell yeah!
People complaining about the age of the presidential candidates,
and thenthere's shatner.
‘Scotty beam us up fast’ …. So much for the Mandela effect ! We knew he said it.
Still looking good!
He is so personable. I am going to check out his album Where Will the Animals Sleep. He has so many sides to him. He can laugh at himself. Third Rock from the Sun. The Big Bang Theory.
The guy was such a great actor besides Star Trek and he keeps so young in his life for his age he is a champion
Live long and prosper
Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹
