    William Shatner Complains About Hamilton Condo Using His Name, Likeness

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 22 Nov, 2017 01:08 PM
      HAMILTON — William Shatner is objecting to the use of his name and likeness to promote an upcoming condo development in Hamilton.
       
      The "Star Trek" star, best known for playing Captain Kirk on the original series, set his lasers on the project — dubbed "Television City" — on Twitter.
       
      He complained that his name and a caricature of him were attached to floor plans for a million-dollar two-bedroom penthouse.
       
      Shatner says he doesn't recall giving permission to prominent Toronto developer Brad Lamb to use his name and image as promotional tools.
       
      Shatner tweeted a price list that showed various condo units named after several Hollywood stars including Lucille Ball, Bob Barker, Jay Leno, Mr. T, and Betty White.
       
      Links to the floor plans with the celebrity names and matching caricatures appeared to have been removed from the condo's website Wednesday. Lamb was not immediately available for comment.
