1. First of all, let's get this one out of the way. My middle name isn't "Fucking" ­ I don't have a middle name. It's just William Shatner. Bill to my friends. Not William Fucking Shatner.

2. I never had any formal acting training.

3. I studied business at McGill University in Montreal.

4. They named the Student Union "The Shatner Building" in 1995.

5. Most of my time was spent involved in theater, drama and radio on campus.

6. My trademark delivery that everyone makes fun of? That came about while I was serving as an understudy to Christopher Plummer at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario one year.

7. I had to play the title role in Henry V on a few hours notice, without benefit of rehearsal.

8. My performance ­ filled with abrupt stops and seemingly inappropriate pauses (because I couldn't remember the dialogue) was actually praised by critics as "remarkably intuitive and full of passion."

9. I've been "acting" this way every since.

10. I believe in UFOs.

11. I'm an avid archer.

12. In fact, I once killed a nine foot tall Kodiak bear armed with only a bow and arrow on ABC's "The American Sportsman" -  

13. A show which I hosted.

14. I'm a champion horse breeder. (No jokes, I've heard them all).

15. I also breed Doberman pinschers and am known as an avid dog lover.

16. I turned down the lead role in Dr. Kildare, later filled by Richard Chamberlain.

17. I have had a valid pilot's license since the 1960's.

18. I soloed after only eight hours of training.

19. Like Michael Dorn, I own my own airplane.

20. I hate fruit salad.

21. When I was making $31 a week at the Canadian National Repertory Theater in Ottawa back in the day, I had to spend most of my money on rent. So, I ate the twenty-seven-cent fruit salad at Woolworth's as often as I could. Sometimes twice a day.

22. Did you know I'm Jewish?

23. Horseradish is my favorite condiment.

24. Along with Nichelle Nichols, I'm credited with televisions first interracial kiss.

25. The scene occurred in the episode "Plato's Stepchildren" which was aired on November 22, 1968.

26. NBC actually shot two versions of the scene in question. One where we kiss and one where we don't.

27. For some reason, none of the non-kissing takes were useable. Something about my eyes always being crossed in the non-kissing scenes.

28. I've been married four times.

29. The first two ended in divorce.

30. The third ended in the bottom of a pool.

31. I'm still happily married to my fourth wife, so no new auditions are currently being taken for the 5th Mrs. Shatner. Sorry Claris.

32. I wear lifts. (I'm really only 5'9)

33. After Star Trek ended and my first wife, Gloria Rand, left me.

34. I was so down and out that from 1969-1973  I lived in a camper hooked to the back of a beat up pick-up truck.

35. I once had a nude scene with Angie Dickinson in the 1974 film, "Big Bad Mama."

36. You probably best know me for hawking Priceline.com but there are some other products I've pitched for in the past, including Wishbone Salad Dressing, Commodore Computers and Western Airlines. What do you mean I must be bad luck? Wishbone is still around.

37. My 1968 album "The Transformed Man" is considered the worst record every made by many. To those people I say "Fuck you."

38. In college, I worked as a radio announcer for CBC.

39. During the late 70's, I was *always* the ABC team captain for Battle of the Network stars.

40. I suffer from a condition known as tinnitus ­ a perpetual ringing or hissing in the ears. Both Leonard Nimoy (who also suffers from it) think it came as a result of an explosion near us on the set of the Star Trek the Motion Picture.

41. My first public acting performance was as Tom Sawyer for the Montreal Children's Theater in 1939. I was eight years old.

42. My nickname in High School was "Toughy" ­ earned for my tenacity in fighting off anti-Semitic classmates at Montreal's West Hills High School.

43. I can't actually do the Vulcan hand gesture. Leonard had to tie my fingers together with fishing line in Star Trek III.

44. Yes, it's true. The masked killer Michael Myers in the classic 1978 horror movie "Halloween" was wearing a William Shatner mask. It was painted white with the hair teased out.

45. In addition to being an actor, I'm a writer, director and producer. Oddly enough, I've written, directed produced and starred in many one-man shows.

46. My favorite color is red.

47. My film debut was NOT in "The Brothers Karamazov" as is often stated, but seven years earlier in 1951's "The Butler's Night Off."

48. I appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. I don't recall what I was doing there. Neither does anyone else.

49. I had an in-ring appearance in the WWF a couple of times in the 90's. It was to promote my "Tek-War" series on USA. I enjoyed myself immenselyŠ seconding Brett "The Hitman" Hart, and even getting involved in his match and helping him beat-down the bad guys!

50. In 1954, I played Ranger Bob on the Canadian version of Howdy Doody.

That's 50 and Leonard is starting to be a little bitch, so I have to go. Hope you enjoyed learning a few more things about the Notorious S.H.A.T.
