Star Trek fans who want to celebrate the beloved science fiction franchise’s 60th anniversary by meeting William Shatner have yet another opportunity to check that off their bucket list this weekend. The iconic James T. Kirk actor will be in attendance at The Hollywood Show in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 30, from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. PT and then again from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Star Trek actors Carey Foster, Charlie Brill, and Craig Huxley will also be on hand to meet fans at The Hollywood Show during the two-day event. Charlie Brill, of course, starred as the Klingon agent Arne Darvin in two of the best episodes ever made: The Original Series’ “The Trouble with Tribbles” and its Deep Space Nine follow-up “Trials and Tribble-ations.”
Meanwhile, Foster appeared in a number of The Original Series’ episodes, although she wasn’t credited for her work. In total, Foster played a crew member of the USS Enterprise in five season-1 installments, including one of my personal favorites, “The Squire of Gothos,” featuring General Trelane… retired.
Last but not least, Huxley appeared in The Original Series episode "Operation – Annihilate!" as Captain Kirk’s nephew, Peter, and the actor later portrayed a completely different character in season 3’s “And the Children Shall Lead.”
However, for those who aren’t as familiar with Huxley’s overall body of work, he also contributed to many Star Trek projects over the years through the music department, which included contributions to two of the franchise's most beloved films: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek: First Contact.
The Hollywood Show will be held at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport on Friday, May 29, from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m. and Saturday, May 30, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. However, early birds will be allowed to enter an hour beforehand each day, and children 10 years old and younger will be admitted for free! Parking costs $19 per day, and that rate does include tax.
