William Shatner vs. the cast of ‘Star Trek’
Shatner is a diva with talent – these days, if you’re a diva, you just get fired. As the lead, Shatner became jealous of his castmates when fans showed a preference for any character that wasn’t him. He would do petty stunts to seem superior, including hiding Leonard Nimoy’s bike and stalling a photographer meant to profile the blue Trekkie.
Shatner and Nimoy have since squashed their beef and remained lifelong friends. However, Takei and Shatner fell off because of his petty stunts. Shatner was hurt by Takei’s ignoring him, but it’s not a surprise considering he low-key tormented everyone on set. Takei said, “There was a sickness there” about his co-star’s antics.
