"Yes, they're making another "Star Trek" movie. No, I'm not going to be in it. I'm too much of a joke. Yes, even for a self-referential cameo in a "Star Trek" movie. Yes, of course I'm going to be participating in the promotional efforts anyway: I have no pride, and I need a paycheck. And besides, J. J. Abrams is the hot-shot producer on TV right now. If I suck up to him, maybe I'll get a cameo on "Lost." -Canadian actor, William Shatner... This guy is just a washed-up joke in my opinion... just watch the video below...
Earlier last year William told Details Magazine, "[Abrams] talked to me a few times this past year, but they shot in November and Leonard [Nimoy] is in it and I'm not. I'm disappointed. I'm not outraged, but I think it's a stupid business decision, a stupid box-office decision. Here I am, still alive, still popular, on a hit show. It makes sense to put me in the thing. If they don't, that's fine. I just think it's a silly oversight."
