Live Long and Prosper

I have unnatural love for William Shatner. When he was younger, I found him incredibly hot, and as an older man, he reminds me of my father and I feel all warm and fuzzy when I see him. Yeah, I have some issues, but that’s beside the point. Shatner is the man and at 79, he shows no sign of slowing down.

After a simply delectable turn as Denny Crane in “Boston Legal” and his own take on an intimate talk show, (“Shatner’s Raw Nerve”), The Shat is moving on to yet another series (“$#*! My Dad Says”) — and now comes word that he’ll be directing a documentary of his own rise to fame. Shatner’s production company will join with Canada’s Movie Central to create “The Captains,” which will chronicle his early stage career and his overnight stardom as Captain James T. Kirk.

You Canuckistanians had better share the wealth! (I have no doubt that HBO will snap up the U.S. rights.)

The Shat's actually had a good career in movies and TV. He played a prosecutor in Judgement at Nuremberg alongside actors like Tracy, Schell, Lancaster and Widmark. Nice group to be seen with.

One can't forget his scenery-chewing in that unforgettable Twilight Zone episode either. "THERE'S A MAN ON THE WING OF THIS PLANE!!" still manages to crack me up, and I still will come close to barking out that line when the plane hits turbulence.

I too have a deep and abiding love for the Shat. He's #1 on my top 5 list of famous people (still living) that I want to have lunch with.

I love him in all his commercials, even. And there are so many to choose from. The man will whore himself out for a nickel and a roll of Mentos. I admire that in a person. The World of Warcraft plug he did was spectacular.

At work we had a discussion about who would narrate a movie of our life. I won with the Shat. The dude with Walken came in second.

The Shat has the weirdest acting style, because in a sense, he's always The Shat. But when he's on screen, he blots out everyone else. You can't take your eyes off him.
