Shatner's Flipper

Does anyone know if Shatner has ever spoken about any closeness he feels with Dolphins? I remember his guest stunt on SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN years ago had something to do with Dolphins. Then, when he was on Sea Quest, it was about his autistic son's ability to connect with the dolphin on that show.

Then I just watched Animal Planet last night and caught a show he did about these scientist in Sweden (no not ABBA) trying to communicate with...you guessed it...dolphins.

What is Shatner's flipper connection?

Quite honestly. . . he's just an actor whose agent sends him up for readings.

Really, that's all there is to it, imo.

But three dolphin shows?? I dunno. I am going to do some digging and get back to you..

But if, in the meantime, Denny Craig has a bed scene with a Dolphin??? Oye!

You mean Denny Crane. ;)
Anyhoo, more than likely it's just his agent signing him to jobs, but then again, the Shat may like dolphins. He has an affinity for horses, so maybe dolphins also.

Trying to channel spirit of former wife maybe???

Yipes - bad taste??
 
Even George C. Scott in the wake of his Oscar-winning performance in PATTON and at the peak of his career did a dolphin movie.
