His grandfather, a Ukrainian-Jewish immigrant named Wolf Shattner, changed the family name to "Shatner." Though known primarily for his kitsch appeal, Shatner got his start in dramatic films such as "The Brothers Karamazov" and "Judgment at Nuremberg." But it was his role as James T. Kirk in "Star Trek" that made Shatner a bankable star. Though the original show only aired for two seasons, Shatner and the rest of the cast re-teamed for a series of blockbuster "Star Trek" films including "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" (which he directed). But unlike the confirmed bachelor James T. Kirk, Shatner married four times. He also had three daughters, one son and is now a grandfather. Shatner also recently returned to television work, appearing in "The Practice" and as the spokesperson for Priceline.com.
