Canadian actor William Shatner rose to pop culture fame thanks to his iconic role as Captain James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek television series and subsequent films. While the beloved science fiction franchise is known for its bright futuristic outlook on polarizing topics—humanity overcoming its differences to "boldly go where no man has gone before"—Shatner isn't exactly known for being a paragon of inclusiveness or progressive thought. In fact, you're more likely to find the former starship captain trolling the dark corners of the internet or feuding with his co-stars.

Shatner has always had a lead singer front man complex similar to David Lee Roth.

He is like the older brother in a family that thinks he knows everything, and the Star Trek cast is like an extended family.

Good for him. He takes on SJWs too. Can't wait for his response to Discovery.
