The Original Star Trek Fun Facts

Go back in time with these fun facts from the original Star Trek TV series. This video focuses mostly on the history and memories of William Shatner as Captain Kirk, DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy, Leonard Nimoy as Mister Spock, and James Doohan as Scotty the engineer of the starship Enterprise both from the show and other series and life experiences they had.

One of the stars was a hero in World War II that was shot eight times and survived thanks in part to a small silver case in his breast pocket. One of the actors appeared three different times at the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, twice on television and once on the movie screen, Star Trek being one of those appearances. This actor also appeared with the Lone Ranger three times.

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner both had musical albums. Also, Nimoy appeared with Shatner on another show apart from Star Trek featuring a certain police officer known as T.J. Hooker.

I also look at DeForest Kelley's best known lines and some instances of his early career choice as a doctor following him his entire acting career from show to show.

See Joan Collins and Captain Kirk walk past Floyd's barber shop from the Andy Griffith Show and remember the Twilight Zone Trek connections.

Plus a couple of bonus Star Trek trivia facts from Star Trek the Next Generation and the movie with Chris Pine as Captain Kirk that somehow connects to the television series Chips.
