You Can Call Me Bill on SBS and SBS on Demand – Captain Kirk. T.J. Hooker. Denny Crane. Big Giant Head. Alexander the Great. Henry V. Priceline’s Negotiator.
These are but a handful of the innumerable masks worn by William Shatner over seven extraordinary decades onstage and in front of the camera.
A peerless maverick thespian, electrifying performer and international cultural treasure, Bill (as he prefers to be called), now 91 years young, is the living embodiment of his classic line “to boldly go where no man has gone before.”
Bill rides horses every morning, ran atop a speeding train, stood alone on a rumbling 14,000-foot glacier, fearlessly drove racing cars and motorcycles, swam with sharks on his 90th birthday, and is now the oldest man to have ever ventured into space.
He is the incarnation of a life fully lived.
You Can Call Me Bill is dedicated to his life, career and philosophy, and delves into his most fervent passions, hopes and concerns, through a thematic distillation of his most recent autobiographical songs and a kaleidoscopic deep dive into the farthest reaches of his filmography, to deliver an up-close, intimate portrait of his personal journey.
