He's a naturally funny guy. His constant denial of every impression's accuracy is just part of his schtik. It's like, I remember when the movie "Galaxy Quest" came out, he mentioned that he recognized every character as a Star Trek reference, except for the Tim Allen part. He was like, "for the life of me, I don't know who he's supposed to be. What are they doing with this?"

I saw Shatner at a sci fi convention. The audience was on the verge of rioting because the electricity went out, but the charismatic Shatner ran to the center of the stage and yelled orders at everyone, which they obeyed to the letter just as happened on Star Trek. It became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. He is a natural leader in real life.

I always loved that Bruce Campbell Shatner impression. Funny watching Shatner himself viewing it. He looked a bit confused/not happy with it at first but by the end you can tell he sees the humor and appreciates Bruce's wit. Shatner's stylized acting/over-acting isn't for everyone, but its unique and memorable. You can pretty much do an impression of him saying anything and people will immediately recognize it. That's an amazing thing.

The Kirk character was a believable threat, in all situations. Like the character Jim West. He wasn't some muscle bound behemoth, he was a credibly build for a wrestler. The action was always gritty and realistic which helped ground the fantastical situations of the show. People tease over his cadence but fail to notice the subtle fact that the alien beings he's interacting with, don't speak English as a first language. Shatner was a true actor, and played the role of Kirk like few men could.

Love Bill Shatner. Met him at Comic-Con a few years back, and he was the nicest guy ever. Everyone talks about what a diva he is, but he took his time and talked to my daughter when she wanted a collectible Enterprise signed. He asked her where she got it and listened very intently; seemed genuinely interested and pleased that she would ask him to sign it. Great guy. Class act.

@jimbarr4606 2 года назад

You were lucky! He was supposed to be in my city’s Comic-Con last April (2020) but it was cancelled due to Covid. Hopefully he will make it here one day. Glad he was so nice. I’ve been a huge fan since I was a young boy in the sixties.

@juliusarchibaldiv3880 2 года назад

I met him at Ticonderoga NY for his Birthday Celebration and I couldn't agree more! He was very nice constantly thanking everyone who came to the event. I, unfortunately, didn't have the opportunity to sit in on his Bridge Chat or go on any of the tours of the Star Trek set there, but I did get a photo with him and got him to sign my Eaglemoss XL Diecast Enterprise-A.

Comedian Freddy Lewis used to do a wonderful impression of Captain Kirk during his residency at The Holy City Zoo back in '82. If you closed your eyes, you'd swear that you were on the deck of The Enterprise listening to Kirk threaten to intern Sulu ...again. Man, I miss Freddy Lewis.

@IgnatiusThorogood 2 года назад

That's the thing, is most people, when they do a Shatner, what they're impersonating is Kevin Pollack's impression. I've long thought Belushi's take was closer to the mark than people acknowledged, because he's not doing the cliched take everyone does. Mostly because at the time of the sketch, the cliche hadn't been established.

@mosesramirez6330 2 года назад

If you rewatch that Belushi's skit, he actually does drop in the exaggerated pause cadence a little further in.

@I_Don_t_want_a_handle 2 года назад

These impressions are not meant to be accurate they are meant to be funny. They deliberately exaggerate facets of speech and acting for comic effect. That Shatner does not appreciate this is quite funny in its own right.

@psmirage8584 2 года назад

The thing is, if you go back and watch multiple Original Star Treks, Kirk very rarely emotes like that. It's worth noting that Shatner was trained as a stage actor, where exaggerated emotions are necessary to convey to the audience, who never gets a close up of their faces. So, in some circumstances, Kirk does have an exaggerated emotion, but I think that's mostly the character. It was intended as a foil to Spock's usually stoic delivery. I really think William Shatner did a magnificent job as Kirk. Chris Pine does a great impression, too, because he doesn't resort to caricature.

@wdd3141 2 года назад

This corroborates what Grace Lee Whitney said in her autobiography, "The Longest Trek." She pointed out Shatner's training as a stage actor.

@quintoblanco8746 2 года назад

Daniel Day-Lewis was also trained as a stage actor. However, William Shatner is no Daniel Day-Lewis. I've always enjoyed his performances, but he is. let's say limited: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DAs-HYLdfTg.html

@jbwarner8626 2 года назад

Most of Shatner's hammiest acting happened in Season 3, generally regarded as the weakest season of TOS. Watch an episode like "The Enterprise Incident" or "And the Children Shall Lead" or "Turnabout Intruder", Shatner's off on another planet half the time. I think he knew he was getting substandard material at that point and was just like "Screw it, I'm at least gonna try to have fun with this" 😆

@BenjaminWirtz 2 года назад

There are a few times where it was obvious. One episode he is giving the star date and he seems like he forgot it halfway through before completing it . another example is in Opperation--Annihilate. Where he says " some, kind. Of creature. "

@blanketstarry7725 2 года назад

He kind of evolves into that style as the series went on. I just watched the original series again, and what surprises me is how few times Bones says, "dammit Jim, I'm a doctor"...and how little the Klingons are actually in the series. As I thought I remembered it, Bones was always saying that and the Klingons were in virtually every episode!
