I ended up checking on it. They didn't.
Shatner did ask for Nimoys consent to be part of The Captains and Nimoy said no. So Shatner sent someone to a convention to record him and ask questions. Nimoy found out and was enraged and never spoke with him again in the last 5 years of Nimoys life. Shatner revealed it himself in his 2016 book about his relationship with Nimoy. In it he still down plays it by said "it was so small".
What a shock. Shatner was an asshole again.
I fucking hate that man. It's why I am so insanely glad that I've gotten to spend a little time with a couple of my Trek heroes who are incredible people. Having Anthony Rapp on my PlayStation friend list? Glorious. I've messaged him so many times asking stupid DSC questions.
Oh nice, have you gamed with him at all?
I have not, we're both more into single player games. The dude is a beast though. 100%s or platinums every game he gets into. His trophy cabinet is just 100% and 2%. It's insane.
The idea of celebrities being gamers is just so weird to me. Such a different world than the one I grew up in.
I was thoroughly surprised when I found out but it makes sense. If you're always working, a good video game can really fill some of the time and help take you away. I just assumed Anthony was more of a theater geek (probably because of Rent) than a nerd and leaned more towards physical things to do.
Robin Williams was a huge gamer. He named his daughter Zelda because of the game.
