William Shatner was greeted by cheers and applause as he took to the stage at Comic-Con Africa at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand this afternoon.
The Canadian actor is well-known for his role as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek franchise.
Shatner questioned fans on why they still applaud for him when he portrayed Kirk 55 years ago. Check out the clip below:
