The William Shatner Leonard Nimoy Feud During The 1966 Original Star Trek Series
Fans Well Know The William Shatner & George Takei Feud, But Many May Not Know William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy Clashed While Filming The Original NBC Series
‘I am and always shall be your friend." Spock to Captain Kirk in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Yes, they were indeed legendary cinematic friends up on the silver screen and in the box at home, but in real life, for awhile, it was quite a different story.
Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry, gave us Captain Kirk and Mister Spock. Actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy brought the USS Enterprise Starfleet Captain and Vulcan Science Officer to vibrant life.
That’s a science fiction fan celebration. What of real life trekking?
Many fans may not realize that during the filming of the original series on NBC in 1966, Shatner and Nimoy had a big falling out and soon found themselves feuding, much to creator Gene Roddenberry's dismay.
