Max: William Shatner - Ham and Human

One morning, shooting a Star Trek movie in the desert, I had a very early call.

So I told the wardrobe girl: "Give me my uniform and I'll put it on at the house so I don't have to come in any earlier for wardrobe. I'll just wear it to the set."

So at 4am I was racing across the desert to our location. I was way over the speed limit, figuring there wasn't another car on the road in the entire state.

It turned out there was one other car - and it had lights and a siren.

I got out of my car, dressed in my uniform. The police officer looked me up and down, frowned and asked: "So where are you going so fast at this time in the morning?"

I told him the truth: "To my spaceship."

He sighed. "OK, go ahead," he said, before adding the Vulcan blessing: "Live long and prosper."
