In the mid-60s, television executives rejected the first pilot of the show, but the second, in which Mr. Shatner played Kirk for the first time, fared better.
I never thought itd become a big deal, just 13 episodes and out, Mr. Shatner told The New York Times Magazine in 2010.
In fact, it lasted 79. The show gained a cult following in syndication and spawned a pop cultural phenomenon with multiple television series (a new one is planned) and 13 feature films (and counting).
Mr. Shatner turns 86 today, but James Tiberius Kirk wont be born for another 216 years.
For those who dont want to wait until 2233 to pay tribute to one of science fictions best-known names, boldly go to Riverside, Iowa, where a plaque proudly announces the Future Birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk.
