Shatner was born in Canada, so this is a sort of coming for him. His first acting gig was at Stratford in Ontario, where he played understudy to Christopher Plummer. Little did they know then, that decades later, they would star in a Star Trek movie!

Speaking of plummers, the original Klingons seemed more appealing because they resembled grease smeared plumbers or grease monkeys (to be politically correct, grease macacas...)

I attended a one-man "Night with William Shatner" show at Arizona State in the early 1970s, and it was fantastic. He acted several scenes, one from "Galileo," one from Shakespeare, etc., and then told anecdotes from "Star Trek." Absolutely great. He really can act.
