Post subject:  Bill talks TOS and his new stuff

LAWeekly posted a new interview with William Shatner and here are excerpts.



Did you come here looking for work or with work?

They sent for me, and I went back and forth. My first experiences here in film were The Brothers Karamazov. In TV, probably The Twilight Zone. Star Trek came along: I received a phone call from [Star Trek producer] Gene Roddenberry. He said that they had made a pilot, and would I come and see it with the idea they wanted to recast it, with me playing the captain.

After April, the tour will be over. What's next on your plate?

There are two horse shows I've got to compete in, there's my own horse show benefiting children's charities, then I've got to shoot a series that I host called Weird or What? [Discovery Channel/History Channel (Canada)] in May, then I've got contracts to do two documentaries that we've sold in Canada and I hope will sell here. They're about food, the nature of food, the other is who goes to conventions, who turns up at health convention, a Xena convention, a fantasy convention. And then there's the prospect of doing TV or movies.

(I would like to see the documentory on conventions. That sounds interesting. Some day I will have to go but then if I watch it maybe it will be a turn-off. We will see)
