William Shatner. Peter Sloan insists the Star Trek actor is his dad after he had a brief fling with his mother, late Canadian actress Kathy McNeil, who gave him up for adoption aged five, but the 85-year-old star insists he is nothing to do with the radio host. The 59 year old has demanded William to have a DNA test, stop saying he isn't his dad and the lawsuit claims the actor "admitted he was the plaintiff's father", according to New York Post's Page Six column.
