Hunter would have got the second pilot but was under contract for a movie so they went with Shatner.

That movie he was contracted to do, lead to his death.

One of the stunts went wrong and he fractured a vert and concussion. Had a seizure on the plane ride home. Several months later he fell down the stairs at home. Died during surgery.

Very good actor, in The Searchers, and King of Kings.
