Having just published his latest memoir, Star Trek icon William Shatner has spent some time lately looking back on his career. That includes portraying the life and death of Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise.
Shatner recently opened up about the decision to kill Kirk in Star Trek Generations. According to Comicbook.com, the death was a financial decision more than a creative one. Shatner reportedly saying Paramount felt The Next Generation would make more money at the box office.
These comments echo a similar statement Shatner made in a recent interview, saying that he felt he had little choice in the matter.
"It was either I was going to appear and die, or they were going to say he died. So, I chose the more practical of the two."
