COLLIDER: William Shatner's Career Comes to Life in 'You Can Call Me Bill' Poster [Exclusive]
Legendary actor William Shatner has done it all in his career at this point. He's been to space both as Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek and in real life through Blue Origin, he's won Emmys, and he's appeared in hundreds of film and television roles across an over 70-year career on-screen, among other accomplishments. Now, he's heading back to theaters with the new documentary You Can Call Me Bill, which debuted at SXSW last year. Ahead of the film's release on Friday, March 22 - Shatner's 93rd birthday - Collider can share a new poster that reflects on his extensive on-screen career and its most iconic characters.
The colorful, intergalactic poster shows Shatner looming over Earth while donning his Blue Origin jumpsuit. Behind him is a collection of roles he notably played on the big and small screen with Kirk, his most memorable character, directly behind him. Shatner helmed the USS Enterprise from 1966 through 1969 in Star Trek: The Original Series on NBC before going on to reprise the role of Captain Kirk in Star Trek: The Animated Series and the seven original films from Paramount that helped establish the franchise as a mainstay of pop-culture. His other notable turns stand to the right and left of the iconic starship commander, including Boston Legal and The Practice attorney Denny Crane, a role that earned Shatner a pair of Emmys and many more nominations, and the titular officer T.J. Hooker.
