Live long enough and prosper

Is there anyone having a more satisfying last laugh than William Shatner?

The “Star Trek” icon evolved from sci-fi hero to punch line during his “T.J. Hooker” daze, and now he’s the toast of the town, in part, for his Denny Crane character on “Boston Legal.” But it’s about more than just that ABC drama. He’s a survivor, someone able to laugh at himself while never stopping his search for new gigs.

Heck, his infamous “Saturday Night Live” sketch skewering “Star Trek” conventions and the show’s dweeby fan base should have earned him eternal forgiveness from fans and critics alike.

CNN serves up a fascinating feature on all things Shatner, a recap of career highlights and personal demons. And if you missed any of the actor’s career highlights, you can revisit them courtesy of his new autobiography.

Could anyone see Shatner’s amazing career arc coming?
