It's rather sad to see William Shatner, Pat Boone, Tom Selleck and Charlie Sheen reduced to selling stuff;(

Hollywood is over!

Shatner’s “Thank God for guns huh Johnny?” bit was hilarious. (I don’t remember what show it was from, I just saw that clip from it.)

TV mini series. Missiles of October. About the Cuban missile crisis. Martin Sheen plays Bobby Kennedy.

“Martha Raye?”

Yeah, that was her. She did commercials for Polident.

"Martha Raye, denture wearer."

David Letterman called her "Martha Raye, condom user," and she sued him.

I always pictured Tom Selleck having wild parties with Admiral Lynch, "Jennifer," and "Tatiana" from New Day in the old people's homes that they got for the banks.

I would also have liked to see Bill Shatner's sleep apnea machine somehow worked into the original Star Trek, but I guess they didn't have those machines back in the 1960s.

William Shatner singing in commercials a few years back, he was doing that as satire, a joke. Enjoyed those commercials.

It is sad. But on a brighter note, there have been some ‘commercial actors’ who went on to become STARS in their own
right:
