WILLIAM SHATNER - SHATNER'S STAR TREK FEUD WITH NIMOY

SHATNER'S STAR TREK FEUD WITH NIMOY

WILLIAM SHATNER blames a bitter feud with fellow STAR TREK star LEONARD NIMOY for marring his time on the cult sci-fi series.
The actor, who shot to fame as Captain Kirk in the original 1960s TV show, states tensions built up between himself and Nimoy after the duelling pair indulged in a bout of verbal spats on set.
In his new autobiography, Up Till Now, Shatner explains how Nimoy - who played Mr Spock on the show - thought he was "a real son of a bitch".
And he adds that the actor took his on-set comments the wrong way: "(Nimoy) thought I betrayed him for the amusement of others."
However, Shatner insists the pair later became "best friends" after they were thrown back together to take part in Star Trek conventions.
