Top Ten Shatner Roles (not Star Trek)

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Shat was also in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1, but was by no means the funniest actor in that film.

 

[f14peter]

also in some 70s made-for-TV (you know, before there was "straight-to-video") movie of the week, "Terror at 35,000 Feet" or something like that, about some evil/satanic entity let loose on an airliner.

If I remember correctly, Shatner played a priest teetering on the edge of his faith

Impulse is great. It's so bad, It's hilarious. Had Shatner not been the lead star, the movie would be so forgettable, but he make it worth watching. Everything he does is unintentionally funny. I love it.

That one actually might be good to remake.

In honor of Shatner's 84th birthday tomorrow, may I present Captain's Voyage, a supercut of my own making. Fifty years of performances in under four minutes!

Nice work, Gaith.

Too bad you missed the moment in The Man from UNCLE's "The Project Strigas Affair" where he drunkenly puts an arm around bad guy Leonard Nimoy, two years before Star Trek.

Nice work, Gaith.

Thanks!

Huh, I'd never heard of that scene before. Fascinating! Though I'm relieved to see that it wouldn't necessarily have fit in the video, as Nimoy's face isn't visible until several seconds later, and there's a lot going on apart from Shatner's face, which is what I was mainly concentrating on.

 

[Push The Button]

Strigas is awesome.
Kirk, Spock, and...Klink. It doesn't get any better than that.

Liked it!

Couldn't listen to that song, sorry.

 

[IrishNero]

Interesting, but oddly most of his iconic non-Trek roles were mentioned in the comments, not the article itself.

Denny Crane: "Denny Crane!"

It's not Trek, but I think that role was the best acting he ever did.

 

[WillsBabe]

Secrets of a Married Man. Watched it about 5 times one weekend, back in the day...

 

[IrishNero]

He raided Mike Brady's wardrobe in the first minute.

Wow, that's probably one career moment that Shatner would rather retract.

 

[Melakon]

In 1974 during his needing money days, he appeared in the tv-movie "Pray for the Wildcats".

Shatner on a motorcycle vs. Evil Andy Griffith on a motorcycle!

Couldn't listen to that song, sorry.

You mean Australian youtube blocked it?

 

[eyeresist]

No, I mean I didn't like the song. And people complain about the ENT theme!

 

[Gaith]

Hey, mate, that's Springsteen! The Boss! You mind your tone!
