(113,880 posts)I have a long sleeve black velour shirt that still fits though, but I haven't had an occasion to wear it in almost a decade. At least it is clean and hanging in the closet.

(26,765 posts)My brother was his driver during the first (I think it was the first) Star Trek movie. He said he was hoping to be assigned to Leonard Nimoy but was assigned to Shatner, instead. It took a while, but he came to really like the guy and Shatner wrote a letter of recommendation for him.
I guess that qualifies as a one degree separation.

It's interesting to meet famous people and see what they are like when not performing.

(1,343 posts)A nice Jewish boy from Montreal who was first a Shakespearean actor. Breakout TV role on Star Trek and several series after that but my favourite was Street Legal.
Of course he's done umpteen tv commercials and is not afraid to laugh at himself -- a nice Canadian trait, btw!!! And kudos to his plastic surgeon!

(8,122 posts)1. In the picture above: A slight turning of the head, the uneven shoulders, the sidelong glance.
2. Walking: From my view, Kirk had a light step.
3. The herky-jerky pace of Kirk's dialogue is dynamic and a meme of its own.
4. The chair and the Enterprise bridge design fit together with the crew and the script. Even tho the chair didn't move, in my mind, it did.

Still amazing to note that he was in this (Judgment at Nuremberg, which was a pretty good film) -
I did got to a Creation Con here a bit over 15 years ago and got his autograph in my copy of one of his co-authored books.

Happy birthday Mr. Shatner and here's to many more!

(2,731 posts)is that he does have an outsized ego but is also humble, if that makes any sense. He laughs at himself, and seems to have enjoyed his career, his life, his fame and popularity. Also, didnt he win a Tony Award for The Andersonville Trial, as well as be writer/creator of a successful science fiction series?
Hail and Hearty, heres to you, Bill!
