The ceremony concluded a three-day celebration of the 75-year old actor, his career and his accomplishments. The surrounding weekend events included a screening of Star Trek: II: The Wrath of Khan, the TOS episode “Spectre of the Gun,” a Q&A session and a musical performance by Alien Nation and Star Trek: Enterprise star Gary Graham.
