William Shatner
What do we all think of him, cheers.
P. S. Does he still feel alright at 91 today? š
Canadian murderer.

He's going to space.
shareIā¦think heāsā¦amazing!
Can youā¦imagine!ā¦a betterā¦actorā¦than him?
Canā¦YOUā¦ think ofā¦ANYONEā¦that couldā¦have beenā¦a betterā¦Admiral Kirk?
Iā¦cannot.
I agree. Check him out in Kingdom of the Spiders. Heās so horny in the beginning that you think he might skip saving the town from the spider infestation.
Oh, and Devilās Rain has been in my watch list for a while. I might bump it up. š
I saw Kingdom Of The Spiders, what a silly acting mess that was! The spiders were very creepy though.
shareOh yeah, it was silly. I love all those āanimals attackā films from that era though. Itās always cool to see Woody Strode in movies too.
shareStrode had a good face for the movies!
Grizzly was a great, silly āanimal attackā movie from the mid-70s, it had a fine low rent cast and no frills, fun stuff.
I love that one also. Iām a sucker for Christopher George and will watch anything heās in. The only way they could have made it better, in my opinion, is if Linda Day George has starred in it also. š
shareYou missed the bit where he suddenly runs a bunch of words into one.

I think he's amazing, still working at 91, and very likeable! I love watching him on the History Channel Show Unexplained. And he was the PERFECT Captain Kirk. None of the other actors who have portrayed Kirk even come close.

He's great. He made ham overacting into a cinematic art. No other actor can pull that off but Shatner. Kudos. š¤£
shareDreadful actor, but he can be fun in the right role.
I have NO idea why he's had such a long career, when Hollywood shoves so many real talents out of the car on a country road.
Obviously the iconic Captain Kirk made him untouchable. He could never do anything to screw that up.
shareActually, playing a REALLY iconic role can be bad for an actor's career, if nobody sees them as anything but the iconic role they become typecast, and their career suffers. Leonard Nimoy had that problem, but Shatner kept working and working, even though he's ... far from a great talent.
I consider his career to be even more inexplicable than that of Keanu Reeves! At least everyone likes Reeves.
I'm not so sure he's a bad actor though. He over emotes and hams it up, but it always seems to work in the roles he plays. Maybe he's better than we think.
shareAs he's gotten older there have been a few roles where the hamminess worked, but how did he keep working for the decades it took to learn to act?
My theory is that he helped a studio head bury some bodies.
His Star Trek legacy is set in stone, but personally I really liked his work in the series Boston Legal. He was hilarious and really gave that show its personality.
