Which Star Trek actor appeared as himself in season 6 episode 22?
Answer
William Shatner
Answer
William Shatner
William Shatner appeared as himself in season 6, episode 22 of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
The episode, “I, Done,” features Shatner in the role listed in the series’ guest-star credits: himself. By that point, Shatner was internationally recognized for playing Captain James T. Kirk in the original Star Trek television series and films. His appearance is therefore a celebrity cameo, not a Star Trek character crossing into the sitcom.
The guest spot can be confused with the show’s other science-fiction connections. George Takei and Leonard Nimoy were also major Star Trek figures, while Patrick Stewart became famous as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, but none of them played the season 6, episode 22 cameo. The episode aired during the show’s final season in 1996.
