At the recent Star Trek Las Vegas 2023 event, an unexpected gathering of Star Trek characters occurred, reminiscent of the earlier Spock character summit.

Following their discussion, the first-ever Kirk from the original series, William Shatner, took the stage to a standing ovation from the enthusiastic audience at the Rio Convention Center.The surprise appearance marked the first meeting between Jeannotte and Shatner, with Jeannotte humorously introducing himself as a member of the Kirk family: “Hi, I’m your brother.” Shatner played along, responding with, “Nice to meet you, brother.” Interestingly, Jeannotte’s character, George Samuel “Sam” Kirk, has a historical connection as the role was originally portrayed by Shatner himself in one of the Star Trek: The Original Series episodes. Wesley also chimed in with his own witty exchange: “And I’m you,” to which Shatner’s response — “Hey, how you doing?” — highlighted the bonding between the actors. Notably, Shatner and Wesley had an existing connection as neighbors, and they previously appeared together at an event during San Diego Comic-Con 2022.RELATED: George Takei Says None of Star Trek’s Original Cast Liked William Shatner
