If you are lining up against Bill Shatner. You should normally stop and check yourself. He might have tripped up here and there, but he is a very solid even handed guy with a great attitude towards life.

Shortly after Star Trek ended, Shatner might have gone all Tina Louise, lamenting being typecast. He had a REALLY down period reduced to doing Canadian supermarket ads. But the man just kept on plugging, showing up on time, and refusing to go away until things came around to him.

Granted, Captain Kirk and Star Trek is more enduring than Ginger Grant and Gilligan's Island, but young adults today might know him just as much as Denny Crane or the Priceline guy as Captain James Kirk. He NEVER eschewed the movie sequels, never afraid that he couldn't be Captain Kirk and TJ Hooker at the same time. He was willing to do self-parody in Airplane! and various TV ads (Oldsmobile comes to mind). Taking small parts did not make him a small man. Instead it made him larger than life.

My estimation of William Shatner, as hammy as he is and alway has been was forever solidified in a most positive way by this:
