Sam Heughan Wants to Follow in William Shatner's Footsteps

Sam Heughan walks the carpet alongside Caitriona Balfe while attending The Artistry of Outlander panel at the Paley Center for Media on Monday (June 6) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

On the carpet, the 36-year-old actor opened up about the character in Star Trek that he would like to play if he had a choice.

“There’s so many. It depend which genre or series you are talking about. Is it Deep Space 9? Is it Next Gen? Let’s face it. Kirk would be amazing as I have got to know William Shatner. I would love to follow in his footsteps in space,” he said.

FYI: Sam is wearing a Burberry suit, Christian Louboutin shoes, and an Armani watch. Caitriona is wearing a Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini dress and Neil J. Rodgers shoes.
