As Captain Kirk
As lawyer Denny Crane
Governor General Julie Payette has given the Order of Canada medal to 39 people Thursday at Rideau Hall. One is William Shatner, whose remarkable 60-year acting career has seen him play roles ranging from Captain Kirk to reprobate lawyer Denny Crane in Boston Legal. Also honoured are writer Ann-Marie MacDonald and lawyer James Lockyer. Mathematician Robert Langlands, filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin and actor Donald Sutherland are also being made companions of the order, the most prestigious of its three levels.
