William Shatner's Career Highlights

Get ready for William Shatner's amazing career highlights. In this video we go way back to look for William Shatner’s first acting gigs. Find out what Shatner’s first series was and it’s not Star Trek. Find out what the actor's most embarrassing moment on television was, his most triumphant star trek scene and possibly his worst plus lots of funny goofs and bloopers from Shatner’s long career. All this and more, as I, look at the career highlights of the amazing William Shatner.

Before Captain Kirk on Star Trek, his first billing was as Bill Shatner where he played a crook. That wouldn't be the last time as he would play in tons of detective shows as the bad guy of the week in the 70s. He had a really embarrassing moment on Dick Clark's game show the 20 Thousand Dollar Pyramid. He wrote his own sci-fi book series TekWar that was turned into a TV series and a comic book.

He triumphed as Captain Kirk and died as Captain Kirk on Star Trek Generations. His first series was a legal drama, and it wouldn't be the last time he starred in one. He's appeared in more movies and TV series than most actors still working in his 90s.
