He also played the title role in the hit series "T.J. Hooker" before hosting TV's first reality-based series "Rescue 911." Shatner won two Emmys and his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of Denny Crane on "The Practice" and "Boston Legal" and received four additional Emmy nominations as well as Golden Globes and SAG Awards.Off screen, Shatner has authored nearly 30 best-sellers in both the fiction and non-fiction genres. His autobiography "Up Till Now" was a New York Times best-seller. In 2011 he released "Shatner Rules," a collection of rules illustrated with stories from his personal life and career.
