William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy — the March Birthday duo
Posted: March 18, 2025, 1:21PMWhat's better than having a birthday in March? Your co-star has one in the same month just a few days later. When Star Trek: The Original Series first debuted, no one could imagine the impact it would have on generations for years to come. The sci-fi series allowed viewers to escape from Earth as we joined the adventures of the starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and its crew in every episode.
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy embodied their roles as Captain James T. Kirk and Spock. Their connection and the rest of their castmates became something special in science fiction and beyond.
Even better, their birthdays are just four days apart! William Shatner was born on March 22, 1931, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Leonard Nimoy's birthday is March 26, 1931, and the actor was born in Boston, Massachusetts. To be born so close together in the same year and then star in a legendary TV series is so cool. Do you think they had joint birthday parties on set?
