For this role he has won an Emmy and a Golden Globe.Despite this success Shatner has long since been labelled as difficult to work with former Star Trek co-stars George Takei and James Doohan, who both openly admitted to despising Shatner, claimed he was arrogant, egotistical and a line-stealing showboater.However despite these claimes Shatner is still in high demand appearing in more recent movies including Miss Congeniality and it's sequel, and voiced characters in Over The Hedge and The Wild.
