While appearing on David Tennant’s celebrity interview podcast, David Tennant Does a Podcast With…, Sulu actor Takei alleged that the cast of the original Star Trek TV series all got along apart from Shatner, with Takei confirming that it often felt like “William Shatner versus the rest of the world”.
Takei played Sulu in the original Star Trek series, along with several movie spin-offs and a cameo on the sequel series Star Trek: Voyager.
The rivalry between Star Trek actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy was sparked by jealousy over their fan letters, George Takei has claimed.
