William Shatner, known for his roles on Star Trek, T.J. Hooker, and The Twilight Zone, has already shown he's full of holiday spirit. The actor-turned-musician has released an entire album of Christmas music, not to mention his impressive roster of Christmas movies. But this time Shatner Claus has taken it a step further.

On Christmas Day 2019, the Los Angeles Police Department was surprised with a visit from Captain Kirk himself.

But he didn't just come by to give his thanks for working on Christmas— he brought along plenty of food.

Shatner reportedly brought beef and pastrami sandwiches, bagels, lox, and cream cheese. He also left several hundred dollars to feed the department for the rest of the day.

And, of course, the starship captain also left a well-wishing festive card.

Actor William Shatner, who famously played an L.A. cop on T.J. Hooker, drops by the LAPD on Christmas bringing food to thank those officers who had to work on Christmas Day. Very nice gesture by Capt. Kirk.

Interestingly Shatner is Jewish.

Spock was Jewish.
Scotty was Canadian.
Kirk was a Jewish Canadian.

You could have almost named the series Canadian Jews in Space.

Steven Hill, the original star of Mission: Impossible which was shot at Desilu at the same time as Star Trek, was famously canned for trying to convince Shatner and Nimoy to join him in refusing to work on the Sabbath.

Adam Sandler's Hanukkah Song:

You don't need "Deck the Halls" or "Jingle Bell Rock"
Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock (both Jewish!)

The normal rules don’t apply to Shatner!

That’s very possible. He’s also got one heck of a sense of humor.

Good guy in my book.

William Shatner will be 89 in a few months - and still working.

The whole crew is Jewish and the doctor (DeForest Kelley) is a Baptist?
Go figure.

He’s *ALWAYS* worked. The man has a work ethic beyond compare. He made several million on Priceline.com shares, too; he worked for equity ;-)
