While many fanboys have dreamed of being Shatner spawn, Peter Sloan claims to be the one, and has boldly gone as far as filing legal paperwork demanding Shatner do a DNA test.

Sloan, 59, claims his birth mother, late Canadian actress Kathy McNeil, had a brief affair with the Star Trek star in Toronto. McNeil gave up Sloan for adoption at five days old.

There have been many people over the years who have claimed to be his children or other relatives

Shatner, 85, has denied Sloan is his son, and claims he is simply attempting too mooch off his celebrity status.

In the lawsuit, Sloan claims to have met Shatner on the set of T.J. Hooker in 1984, when Shatner “admitted he was the plaintiff’s father.” But a week later, Sloan says he was contacted by a rep for Shatner, who said he was “totally denying paternity at this point,” and added, “Don’t go public… (As it) could be horrendous for (Shatner),” who has long refused a DNA test.

Sloan has since gone on to not only surprise Shatner at a meet-and-greet, but register the web domain petershatner.com and start a local CBS radio show under the name Peter Shatner.

A letter at the time from Shatner’s lawyer, Erik Hyman, read, “Bill… confirmed to me once again that he is not your father. There have been many people over the years who have claimed to be his children or other relatives. He is an incredibly busy 80-year-old man, and is not interested in spending time discussing this issue with you.”

Shatner’s team had Sloan’s Twitter shut down and had IMDb Pro remove a page for a movie he was working on — all, presumably, under the name “Peter Shatner.”
