First William Shatner explains why he decided to appear in the seventh Star Trek film: Star Trek Generations.
"It's just one of those stories where the character has some decent things to do. That's all that matters."
Leonard Nimoy passed on Paramount's offer to direct and appear in the film:
"The Spock-character was perfunctorily token, not really involved in the story. Anyone else could say those lines. Just not meant to be."
After 28 years together, the two men still remain close friends. Both acknowledge how important Star Trek has been to their careers.
