    George is the epitome of taking your life and molding it to your will and truly living. I love how he has made sure that his Star Trek time is both a part of him but doesn't define him. I wish all TV/movie stars could learn from this. It's so depressing seeing those that live 40-50 years out as booth jockeys at conventions, always awaiting that next big breakout role instead of trailblazing forward into other avenues and letting Hollywood try and keep up with them and not the other way around.

    George is AMAZING. Some 25 years ago, he was doing a book signing, and I was nearly the last person in line and he was clearly in a hurry. But when I mentioned reading it, he turned on those megawatt eyes and gave me a smile that lit up the room. Instant love. And Howard I always think about if someone talks of 9/11. My husband and I were out, no tv, and someone had Stern on the radio. He was forced to stay on the radio live and report as he witnessed a national tragedy unfolding a stone's throw away. Respect for him. OH MY is everywhere and doesn't get old. It was even on a children's show Bubble Guppies episode George lent his captivating voice to. Things I remember forever.

    I grew up on reruns of Star Trek and enjoyed his acting. I was surprised and glad to see him on an episode of The Big Bang Theory with Katie Sackoff and their back and forth banter. When I heard that he collaborated on a graphic novel about his and his family's life in the internment camp, I went out and bought. I found it very moving and gave me a much better understanding of the home front events during the Second World War.

    The Howard Stern Show is now on SiriusXM and no longer censored by the US government. He is hilarious and I try to never miss the show.

      George is legendary when uncensored. Howard is outrageous by US prude standards, but Stern, Norton, Clarkson, they’re cut from the same cloth & tell it like it is.

    A spontaneous response, that was 100 percent real, in response to, uhm, 'crassness' :D

    Nice to see George again! Editor might want to take a look at his surname though.

    I love George Takei . . . such a wonderful gregarious loving person . . . i couldn't imagine his world but love when he shares bits with us and i hope he knows just how endeared he is to EVERYONE on this planet. . . i know his current focus of equality makes him seem 'sided' and opposite many people and their issues i just hope he realizes that absolutely everyone loves that man and his husband is a gem as well. i wish him long life, great love and infinite happiness he truly deserves it all having blessed us these many years with his presence. bless you georgi we

    Met George at Timewarp Convention Malahide 1993. He was gracious, fun & full of beans! Had an awkward meeting with him on the first day & he caught me off guard. The next day, getting the autographs he hushed the very full room & told everyone there about it. Suddenly everone was laughing. Except me! Priceless! Pray I wil meet him again.

    If your name is Kevin, you need to watch the episode of Community he narrated, there’s a gift at the end for you from George

    I never knew that story, so funny. Totally makes sense that it would happen on Howard's show. The funniest show was the Belinda Carlisle stocking negotiation.
