William Shatner Audience Graph • Social Signal

Actors dominate William Shatner's nearest audiences, but the mix stretches well beyond his own subcategory — and the spread across the top 10 is notably even, with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest.

The shape is broad. Michael J. Fox leads at 0.79, followed closely by Star Trek (0.79, a Movie Franchise brand — the only non-celebrity entity in the top five), Kevin Bacon at 0.77, Valerie Bertinelli at 0.76, and Drew Carey at 0.75. Tallying the subcategories across all 10 neighbors: six are Actors (Michael J. Fox, Kevin Bacon, John Stamos, Jonathan Frakes, Dan Aykroyd, Jeri Ryan), one is a TV Personality (Valerie Bertinelli), one is a Comedian (Drew Carey), one is a Movie Franchise (Star Trek), and one is a Musician (Weird Al Yankovic). The actor cluster is real but not exclusive — the audience shape bleeds into comedians, TV personalities, and a franchise brand, suggesting an audience that follows a generation of multi-platform entertainment figures rather than a single genre. The presence of Jonathan Frakes (0.74) and Jeri Ryan (0.74) alongside Star Trek itself points to a secondary pull from franchise fandom within the broader actor cluster.

The overall picture is an audience shaped by classic-era television and film celebrity, distributed evenly enough that no single neighbor defines it.
