"It was the original Star Trek series, and later its films, that made Shatner instantly recognizable, called by name - or at least by Captain Kirk's name - across the globe. But Shatner neither began nor ended his career with that role." "William Shatner has always been willing to take risks for his art. What other actor would star in history's first - and probably last - all-Esperanto-language film? Who else would share the screen with thousands of tarantulas, release an album called Has Been, or appear in a racially incendiary film in the Deep South during the height of the civil rights era? And who else would willingly paramotor into a field of fans armed with paintball guns, all waiting for a chance to stun Captain ... er, Shatner?" In this touching and funny autobiography, William Shatner reveals the man behind these unforgettable moments and tells us how he's become the worldwide star and acclaimed actor he is today.
