Captain Charm

AS Captain James T Kirk, William Shatner has long been a cult figure attracting legions of Trekkies who chart his every move.

Of course he has moved on to do other successful shows including TJ Hooker in the 1980s and more recently Boston Legal, as oddball attorney Denny Crane.

Shatner’s autobiography, Up Till Now, is a humorous, self-deprecating look at his career, featuring some hilarious anecdotes from his early days as a classical Shakespearean actor.

Shatner, now aged 77 and still not slowing down, tells his life story in a charming and sometimes touching way.
