William Shatner

William Shatner is known for his credit role in the iconic film franchise Star Trek. William went through a tough time stretch when the show was taken off the air in 1969. With this fact, he and his wife separated, and Shatner began living in his truck.The actor recounted that he managed to find a job back on the east coast on the straw-hat circuit, but he couldn’t afford a hotel room.

It was a no-brainer for Shatner to use his old pickup truck as his shelter for the time being. The vehicle was well-equipped to take care of him as it had a little stove, a toilet, and he drove from theater to theater. William wasn’t alone in his truck, though, as he had his dog that served as his partner through all the hardships. Luckily, the star’s career eventually prevailed, and he became not just an icon for Star Trek but also an Emmy-winning actor for his acting performance in the hit show Boston Legal!
