William Shatner Through the Years

William Shatner Through the Years

On Tuesday, William Shatner celebrates his 85th birthday. The Canadian actor, who was born in Montreal on March 22, 1931, has been active in the industry for more than six decades, and has picked up two Emmys, a Golden Globe, and numerous other accolades over the course of his long career. He landed the role that made him an icon in 1966, when he was cast as Capt. James T. Kirk in the original Star Trek television series, and has been synonymous with that franchise for the last half-century. In honor of Shatner's 85th, see the star through the years, ahead.
