James T. Kirk
Kirk first appears in the ''Star Trek'' episode "The Man Trap", broadcast on September 8, 1966, although the first episode recorded featuring Shatner was "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Shatner continued in the role for the show's three seasons, and later provided the voice of the animated version of Kirk in ''Star Trek: The Animated Series'' (1973–1974). Shatner returned to the role for ''Star Trek: The Motion Picture'' (1979) and in six subsequent films.
American actor Chris Pine portrays an alternative young version of the character in the 2009 ''Star Trek'' film. Pine reprised his role in ''Star Trek Into Darkness'' (2013) and in ''Star Trek Beyond'' (2016). Paul Wesley portrays Kirk on the Paramount+ series ''Star Trek: Strange New Worlds'', set prior to Kirk's captaincy of the Enterprise. Other actors have played the character in fan-created media, and the character has been the subject of multiple spoofs and satires. Provided by Wikipedia
