1. This advert for Priceline

Man, Mr. Shatner can really bust a move...

2. His version of Common People

Shatner recorded the Pulp track for a compilation entitled “Has Been.” Is it possible it might be better than the original?

3. This Jonathan Ross appearance

William met Coco the gorilla. And he was really eager to tell Jonathan all about it...

4. His Twitter Account

Where he signs everything off with, My Best, Bill or MBB for the cool kids...

5. He inspired this song

Well, so did the rest of the cast but it was mainly William.

6. For Boldly Going Where No Man Has Gone Before

Space, the final frontier...

7. This Oscars intro

He helped out at the Oscars. He should have been presenting it...

8. He is best friends with Spock

No, really, the pair are best friends in real life. Shatner counts Leonard Nimoy who played Spock in the original series as one of his very good friends.
