Happy... BIRTHDAY... to... William... SHATNER... 75... TODAY...
William Shatner was born on March 22, 1931

(Canadian actor, writer and producer most famous for starring Captain Kirk in the television series Star Treck. b.1931)

"I am not a Starfleet commander, or T.J. Hooker. I don't live on Starship NCC-170..., or own a phaser. And I don't know anybody named Bones, Sulu, or Spock. And no, I've never had green alien sex, though I'm sure it would be quite an evening. (Pomp and Circumstance begins playing) I speak English and French, not Klingon! I drink Labatt's, not Romulan ale! And when someone says to me 'Live long and prosper', I seriously mean it when I say, 'Get a life'. My doctor's name is not McCoy, it's Ginsberg. And tribbles were puppets, not real animals. PUPPETS! And when I speak, I never, ever talk like every. Word. Is. Its. Own. Sentence. I live in California, but I was raised in Montreal. And yes, I've gone where no man has gone before, but I was in Mexico and her father gave me permission! My name is William Shatner, and I am Canadian!"

1. I saw him a while back on a tv show playing an expensive lawyer
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 11:27 AM by cryingshame
giving advice to an up-and-coming lawyer. His advice, given while smoking a cigar, was basically "savor it while it lasts". I got the feeling he was talking from his own direct, personal experience.

And I remember seeing him act on the Twilight Zone in an episode with Gremilins on the wings of an airplane he was riding in.
