'Star Trek': Where Are The Original Cast Members Today?

Star Trek, and with that the stories of the "Starship Enterprise", is one of the most popular science fiction TV series of all time. Three seasons aired from 1966 until 1969 and the series was later continued on the big screen for a total of 11 feature-length movies.

William Shatner played the role of the infamous "Captain J. Kirk" in Star Trek: The Original Series.

William Shatner has become quite the author over the past few years with his highly acclaimed book series TekWar. On top of that, he has starred in almost all of the original Star Trek movies including Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Shatner was last seen in the final season of The Big Bang Theory.

Leonard Nimoy played the role of "Spock" in Star Trek: The Original Series.

Like Shatner, "Spock" appeared in all of the original Star Trek movies. On top of that, Nimoy has narrated quite a few movies over the years including Armageddon: Target Earth, New England Time Capsule and Miracle of Israel. Most recently, Leonard starred in his own documentary For The Love of Spock which was released back in 2016. A great watch, of course...

Nichelle Nichols played the role of the beautiful "Uhura" in Star Trek: The Original Series.

Since her days on Star Trek, Nichelle Nichols has been up to quite a lot! She was able to release two albums during her time on Star Trek: "Down To Earth" and "Out of this World". On top of that, as expected, she also appeared in most of the original Star Trek movies. In addition to her cult role as "Uhura", she has also had roles in Futurama, The Simpsons and Heroes. Her most recent roles were in the tv series American Nightmares and in the fifth installment of the Sharknado series, Sharknado 5: Global Swimming.

His last and final role was in the 1999 film The Duke where he played "Clive Chives". James Doohan passed away on July 20, 2005 due to complications with pulmonary fibrosis. May he rest in peace...

DeForest Kelley played the role of "Bones McCoy" in Star Trek: The Original Series.

Sadly, DeForest Kelley is no longer with us. He passed away in 1999 due to stomach cancer. As you'd expect, he starred in almost all of the original Star Trek movies as well as a few other movies including Night of the Lepus and The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars. He will truly be missed...
