"You’d think he’d pay off the script writers to get a ‘scene’ with Rand, just once...well, maybe more than once."
Must have been the uniform.

William Shatner is a man who has spoken powerful English in a long acting career.
As Captain Kirk, he said, “Sometimes a feeling is all we humans have to go on.”
And the actor also said, "I always use a stunt double. Except in love scenes. I insist on doing them myself."
He was the oldest man ever to fly in space.
God Bless William Shatner.
Lets not let manhood die.

This was the 2nd Star Trek music video I made, and the sixth music video of any kind. It was shown in Creation Con large auditoriums between guests, including Grace Lee Whitney. 1984.

Spock without McCoy would be like Doc without Festus (and Ruth), no fun at all.
Boston Legal with Shatner, James Spader, and that really cute blonde woman (forget her name) was a hoot.
Shatner lived in his vehicle for a while in the early ‘70s after the original Star Trek went off the air in ‘69.

Bullshit
A friend of mine had tickets to see him at the Redford Theater in Detroit yesterday......
Who would have thought that Shatner, with a rather ho-hum forgettable role as Alyosha in The Brothers Karamazov (1958), would have had such a lengthy career?
Bud: Repo man don't go running to the man Marlene. A repo man goes at it alone.
Lite: Yes sirree bob.
Marlene: Just like John Wayne.
Oly: Damn right just like John Wayne what's wrong about that?
Plettschner: Greatest American that ever lived.
Miller: John Wayne was a fag (freak).
Bud: What did you say man?
Plettschner: Whaa?
Oly: What?
Miller: John Wayne was a fag.
Everyone: (in unison) The hell he was.
Miller: He was too you boys. I installed two way mirrors in his pad in Brentwood. And he'd come to the door in a dress.
As a kid, I loved watching Star Trek, but even then, I recognized Shatner as a major ham.
But as I aged, and he did too, I came to appreciate his seeming lack of self-consciousness, in that he would say or do anything or any line, no matter how hammy or degrading it was, and he seemed to do it just to entertain.
Like a jester. And he did it with a smile.
His music endeavors hit me absolutely like that, they were so bad they became hilariously good to me.
I have come to like him immensely, and that famous scene “Thank God for guns, huh Jerry? Only in America! Sweet Land of Liberty Valance!” only reinforces that.
Also, I thought the portrayal of the parody of “Star Trek” in “Galaxy Quest” by Tim Allen (as well as the portrayal by the rest of the cast) was pricelessly funny!
One of my favorite comedies...:)
Shatner's wildly grinning hammy mug is going to be reading the paper!

“But as I aged, and he did too, I came to appreciate his seeming lack of self-consciousness, in that he would say or do anything or any line, no matter how hammy or degrading it was, and he seemed to do it just to entertain.”
Shatner’s shtick is a parody of his own self. I can’t think of anyone else who has done that, at least to the effect he has. One of the greats, in his own right.
I love that. Never seen the show.
I heard Takai on Howard Stern a while back. He is one angry little man.
