Bill Shatner's Latest Enterprise
Frank Ahrens writes in The Washington Post:
Ah, William Shatner. How effortlessly he moves from show to show, era to era, platform to platform.More here.
For those of you who missed him as Capt. James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise in "Star Trek" in the 1960s, there was "The Barbary Coast" in the 1970s. Or maybe you bought his 1968 album, which featured a spoken-word version of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds."
No? Maybe you saw him as hood-hurdling police officer T.J. Hooker in the 1980s, or on "Rescue 911." Missed those? Maybe you read his "Tek War" novels. You probably saw him sing in Priceline.com television ads in the 1990s, or in the film "Miss Congeniality" or in any number of self-spoofing roles that continue today.
Heck, he's even created a new character -- mad-cow-afflicted, gun-toting lawyer Denny Crane on ABC's "Boston Legal" -- that may, may enter the Shatnerian pantheon alongside Capt. Kirk.
