From Outer Space To The Big Easy: William Shatner Lands At Fan Expo New Orleans, January 7-8, 2022

NEW ORLEANS - EntSun -- Last seen in outer space—and by FAN EXPO fans at Wizard World Chicago in October—the great William Shatner returns to FAN EXPO New Orleans for a two-day stint, Friday and Saturday, January 7-8, 2022, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. The iconic actor, author, producer and director will greet fans, sign autographs, pose for photo ops and conduct a Q&A panel during the event, which runs Friday through Sunday, January 7-9.

One of Hollywood's most recognizable figures for more than a half-century, Shatner, 90, has thrilled millions in his varied career. From his international breakout role of "Captain Kirk" in the original "Star Trek" series—and its numerous incarnations—to famed "T.J. Hooker" in the 1980's up to the "Priceline" pitchman and space traveler of today, Shatner won Emmys and his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of eccentric lawyer "Denny Crane" on both "The Practice" and "Boston Legal." He received four more Emmy nominations as well as other Golden Globe and SAG Award nods.
