Listen as professionals discuss the possibilities.

The one and only William Shatner will be in the house, open and ready to discuss his longstanding role as Captain Kirk and answer any burning questions about his time on the franchise. Will he finally get a part in one of the new Star Trek movies? He probably doesn’t know, but someone is bound to ask, and his response will probably be amusing.
