It seemed fitting that in a convocation ceremony filled with pomp, an actor best known for being lovably pompous was honoured as about 500 Faculty of Arts students cheered wildly.
True to form, Shatner then announced at a news conference he now wants to be addressed as "Dr. William Shatner."
He won the students over with his witty, tongue-in-cheek commencement address and charmed the Montreal media with his sharp, wise-cracking comments and warmth toward the city and university he clearly believes helped shape and build him into the success story he has become.

Perhaps. I understand that after Star Trek there was a while where money was so tight he lived in his car. We tend to forget that they did not start out the way they ended up and that there might have been some serious downs in the middle.

Interesting. I know that things were tight for me while I was going to the University of Georgia writing my dissertation and earning my doctorate the old fashioned way, but I did not have to live in a car.
Still, now, I earn in a year or two what he earns for doing a 15-30 second commercial. Such is Life.

Nobody ever said life was fair. And I'm sure all of us could share stories of when things were difficult. But that's not what this topic is about.
Congrats to Dr. Shatner on the recognition of his life-time achievements.
