Can also confirm, as I once worked a convention he was at and got to see his primo diva dickhead behavior in person. I also heard stories of other behind-the-scenes entitled asshattery from another convention worker a year or two later… you know someone’s awful when a seasoned pro is eager to tell unflattering tales about their experiences with the man. (Not to mention a little Twitter tiff a while back where he snarked to some of my mutuals about how “cis is a slur”…)
While I’m tolerably fond of James T. Kirk, I’ve got few fucks to give for the actor who portrayed him. I hope it goes well mainly so other Trekkies don’t have their hearts broken at the loss. Beyond that…
