Producing a series for 3-4 years is a lot of time and effort, Reg. And Star Trek 2 and 3 were DURING TJ Hooker. His last Star Trek appearance was in 1994 Oh he was also the host of Rescue:911, a semi-reality series between '89 to '96. His voice was in the movie OSMOSIS JONES... So now you want...

What the hell are you talking about? Shatner was in Star Trek: the Motion Picture which came out in 1978, so I didn't count it. But he was in Star Trek 2, 3 , 4, 5 and 6. then he appeared in Star Trek Generations with Patrick Stewart...He even directed Star Trek 5, but he should really stick to...

Out of work for 18 years? Now come on, Reg, its pretty obvious you're not a follower of pop culture, but Shatner kept himself pretty busy and visible during the 80s and 90s, notably on 6 Star Trek movies, produced his own series of science-fiction books (Tek War, admittedly mostly ghost-written...

Then I guess it's a good thing that Star Trek has steadily been broadcast on multiple channels all throughout the world for the last 50 years...Yes in Europe they have heard of him. In all continents as well... In Asia as well since I was there twice, as recently as 2007. When socially isolated...

The title of this thread is for the most FAMOUS, not most WORTHY...Try and learn what the difference is

Merlot, I disagree as far as Shatner being as bad as many say in this thread. He is actually a solid talent. People see some of the cornier aspects of his Captain Kirk role (the stilted, sometimes overblown delivery) yet fail to remember that in american 1960's television, such was often the...

Let's examine what is fame, shall we? If you were there as I was in the early to mid-80's, you couldn't get more famous in the pop music world than these four acts: Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cindy Lauper and Culture Club. Between November 1982 when Jackson's album Thriller was released until...

And how many albums has Celine sold outside of Quebec and France in the last few years, if we take this line of reasoning? I can tell you what her numbers are in the 10 to 30 year old bracket (the most important bracket that determines longevity): almost NIL, I'll bet you a 100$ right now...

By the way, Shatner's Twilight Zone episode was popular enough to have been remade with John Lithgow in the Twilight Zone movie from the early 80's

Yikes, is this conversation STILL going on? It's pretty clear most of us have a certain POV and nothing will change it... (but why should I not enjoy needling a bit?:)) I must admit I had forgotten about Celine singing the theme song for the Disney movie ''Beauty and the Beast'' with Peapo...

While I respect all of your various opinions on this matter, it just seems to me like too many of you just cannot shake your ''north american'' P.O.V. on this whole matter... So I went to ask various friends and acquaintances I have made over the years that either live far away or live here...

well, let's be fair, Beav', it's not like Shatner has even lived in Canada over the last 5 decades. I think he moved away to Ontario and then to California in the late 50's... I don't think its a mark of disrespect by those who chose Celine over Bill, its just a question of a different point...

Hmmm, she may be right Techman... tell you what, ask them as well if they say Celine for what is she famous for... (odds are very good all they will say is the Titanic song, and nothing else!! oh and probably having weird clone children:) )

This whole thread is pretty silly, but fun... lgna is right, say Celine's name and they likely will know in North America and parts of Europe. They won't readily associate William with Shatner... However, show an image of Shatner in his Star Trek uniform...

Beav, Just call me the Nate Silver of Merb:) Look, I have nothing against Celine Dion, I just look at it objectively (I think): Fame especially in the music industry is very fleeting. She has not had a mega-hit in 15 years. And even when that song was at its peak, did Celine tour the world...

Uh Rumple, http://www.seeglobalentertainment.com/experiences/star-trek/ Looks like they're aware of Shatner in Austria:)

Dear Alyssa, Perhaps the thread starter should have specified whether or not the general public out there should be AWARE that the candidates mentioned should be known as being from Quebec. I'm sure the majority of americans who have watched Star Trek since the mid-60s are totally unaware that...

Alyssa, to say that internationally Celine Dion is the most famous Quebecer is like saying that Twiggy is the most famous Britisher...well she was back in the late-sixties, wasn't she? Same thing for Celine, she got world-famous because of the Titanic movie back in 1997, but has never even come...

Ma chere Lilly, the question is who is the most famous Quebecer: I argue that William Shatner has had MORE fans internationally that have watched his shows, have bought his merchandise, have gone to his movies, have attended his convention appearances and seminars, has had more...

William Shatner. by a landslide!!
