Who cares if the latest Star Trek movie had hottie, Chris Pine? Trekkies will always have William Shatner as the only Captain Kirk in their minds.  Comic conventions go crazy the moment Mr. Shatner makes an appearance, that’s how deeply his image as Captain Kirk is carved in the heads of Star Trek fanatics.  Though Shatner has certainly moved on from his Star Trek role, even winning Emmy awards for other works, he still indulges Star Trek fans by making appearances at conventions. He also wrote fiction novels of Star Trek like The Ashes of Eden and Avenger. He also lent his voice to the Star Trek video game. He remains friends with Leonard Nimoy who played Spock in Star Trek.
