George wants a part in J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek," but he has strong opinions about which roles are appropriate for the original '60s cast.

@Al Bundy for President I agree. What he did that made the part come alive is that he truly believed he was in the right, and to be fair, he WAS wronged. He was sent to the planet as punishment but they were forgotten about! So from his character's perspective, he was right to go after who he thought had done this to him. In his head, he was the good guy. He gave the part depth and dimension.

Personally I had a wonderful experience meeting William Shatner back in the 70's and later in 2017. He shook my hand and everything. My brother met and chatted with Leonard Nimoy a few years ago where he worked. He even made Nimoy laugh really hard, too. My brother worked at a Marriot in North Carolina and when Nimoy, a guest staying there, was getting on the elevator, my brother was asked to carry Nimoy's luggage. Ny brother, a so-so Star Trek fan (He's only into football), however, did recognized Nimoy. He remained stoic and professional as he entered the elevator with Nimoy. But Nimoy guffawed when my brother spoke to the Marriot elevator taking them both to Nimoy's floor; he said loudly enough for Nimoy to catch it; he said, ,"Bridge!" Nimoy, who had been equally quite and stoic as well, broke his silence, laughing and telling my brother, "That's a good one!? He invited my brother to have a drink with him after work, but my brother had to get home to watch his beloved football. Had that been me, I have joined Nimoy for a drink or two.

The principle actors on the show were Shatner, Nimoy and Kelley. Some of the others were only in each episode for a matter of minutes, and sometimes not at all. In shooting terms, Takei to Shatner was a guy who came in occasionally, did his scene and left. If Takei wasn't in a scene, he wouldn't be on set, and unless Shatner shared that scene with him, he wouldn't be there either.

Let's look at these detractors. Shatner and Nimoy are authors, producers and actor. Takei is queer.

Shatner. Nimoy. Kelly. Doohan. Nichols. Plus a superb supporting cast, and some of the best writing and directing to ever appear on-screen. The talents and personalities of those actors DEFINED the characters they played. A half-century later, their work is legendary. A century from now, it will STILL be legendary. William Shatner, I guess, is a complete package. Along with the talent and ability to COMPLETELY DEFINE his character (Capt. Kirk, TJ Hooker, Denny Crane), there must be a strong ego to go with it. There HAS to be. Let’s give the man his props. Hollywood is a competitive environment and a “contact sport”. Did “personality” issues hurt “original” Trek? Maybe. But the magic was always there, those issues aside. We got to enjoy it for three ground-breaking seasons and six theatrical movies (again,TOS cast). Even the Shatner-directed ST:V had it’s moments.

Just a thought: is it just a teeny bit possible that Takei's comments about Shatner and Nimoy may not be intended to be taken entirely seriously? I have to agree with him on Khan - I was a bit mystified when Cumberbatch was revealed to be Khan, as the whole point of Khan's character is that he is a wannabe Sikh prince, and Cumber-Khan defeats that purpose (and would possibly have been better used as a different villain). However, I think it also must be said that Benedict Cumberbatch is an incredible actor, and his performance in 'Into Darkness' was phenomenal. I just almost wish he'd been given a different character to work with.

I'll get the name of the extra on Star Trek OS. He has has a video on you tube which contradicts everything Takei says. He said Shatner never took his parts,was always very friend to all and very professional. Shatner has been in many films TV series etc and all of them state love and respect for him. Makes one think. When one listens closely to those 4 they share a sense of entitlement. Takei admitted being angry at Koenig whom he had not even met at the time because he got the role which originally was Takei but Takei was still busy on a film when the new season of Star Trek began. Nichelle described on video how the big shots were against her and Shatner's interracial kiss. Shatner,however insisted that it was in the script and must be done. Then they decided to shoot one with and one without the kiss. Shatner then said to start with the kiss. He was,however not satisfied with the scene until there was just enough time for filming one scene without the kiss. Then Shatner crossed when he looked up and that scene was spoiled. When the big shots later discovered it they then allowed the scene with the interracial kiss. Nicholls ONLY CREDITED THE BIG SHOTS. THERE WAS NO ACKNOWLEDMENT, CREDIT OR APPRECIATION FOR SHATNER WHO FOUGHT AND SAVED HER DIGNITY. NONE WHATSOEVER. SHE ONLY SAID CREDIT TO THE BIG SHOTS ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. WOW!!!!

Remember the Star Trek movie when mr. Zulu had finally achieved command of your own ship toward the end of the film and Captain Kirk needed you help so he could save the day. It was only a few minutes on screen but I never forgot the sound of command in your voice. Also inspite of the way you feel now there as the captain of your own ship you showed the same loyalty and sense of comaraderie with you former crew mates of many years. I was proud of the kind of captain you portrayed. Your acting was also outstanding over the years. I know I’m lost in the portrayal of the characters. I’m sorry that you all couldnt remain friends over the years. I still treasure the memories of the many films..

Perhaps not as much as Shatner and Nimoy...but who's to blame for that? Then he starts picking on Benedict Cumberbatch?!?! No, George....you can't blame aliens for your green glow! 👽 Now your jealousy is apparent! I can't believe this.

Because George was getting political about it... "oh another white guy...." More identity politics trying to make the entire situation racist, when it's not. People, PLEASE stop making everything racist when it's not, it does NOT help end racism; it just stirs up MORE anger and hate when being accused of racism when they know they aren't racist. Doing this repeatedly over and over solves nothing and makes things worse. This is why political correctness is cancer. We can deal with racism when it actually occurs, NOT WHEN YOU FORCE IT TO HAPPEN. People got upset when they changed the race of Hermione Granger from a white girl to a black woman when they Harry Potter on stage, but regressive lefts defended that, since As most regressive believe, black women are so oppressed. So a black woman deserved to take that role simply because she was black. If that's true, that's racism. However i tend to believe that wasn't the case and she was cast since she was the best person available at the time, after all this is *live stage performances,* not a movie that takes months/years to produce. The demands on actors for live stage acting is very intense and demanding, different than it is for TV, and less so for movies. However if a role that was established by a non-white person, in a movie, then in the future in a different production of the same story and character, said character is then cast by a white person.. everyone screams white wash, racism. Hypocrisy to the Nth degree.

A bit rude to say he's not listening, but George Takei DOES have one of those amazing voices. Definitely in the same league as Morgan Freeman, possibly even better than Stephen Fry, though that's up for debate. I do love Fry's voice though, I found his narration in Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy helped make the film as amazing as it is, and the fact he was a friend of Adams, the fellow who wrote the book, just makes it that much cooler.

I don’t agree with most of the commentary here dissing George. It is a shame that the original Star Trek cast weren’t more friendly with each other but basically George was speaking truth mostly about aged actors reprising their youthful roles. I am a big Nimoy fan & his role in the remake movie was great & fitting to the narrative & role but I do understand how surprising it was to learn that Benedict was given the role of such a diverse character but he did play the Khan character extremely well. Hats off to Chris Pine’s portrayal of Kirk-he nailed it. I like all of these actors, George included. ♥️

I respected all of the actors and actresses parts on Star Trek big or small, they were all important to the series. It's hard to feel what some of them have issues with if we weren't there to experience it ourselves. Some people may have legitimate gripes and some may just be overly sensitive, who knows. I'd rather remember the series as the classic that it was, I hope that the crew can put aside their differences and do the same.
