Hearsay but funny as anything: William Shatner is apparently an egomaniacal prick. His lack of participation in the 2004 Planet XPo “Beam Me Up Scotty … One Last Time” farewell event for actor James Doohan was just one of many examples. Captain Kirk told the promoter of the event that he didn’t “want to do this and really don’t want to deal with all this Alzheimer’s crap.” (Doohan, Shatner’s longtime co-star on “Star Trek,” was diagnosed with the disease months prior and died in 2005.) “This is the usual thing that happens,” George Takei, another “Star Trek” cast member, told Howard Stern in 2010. “On the set –whether it was the TV series or the movies, or at conventions — this was another convention where he decided he was not going to do what they wanted him to do, and he walked out.” [IMDb]
