9 Awesomest Things that William Shatner Has Done That Have Nothing to Do with Kirk - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Even though James T. Kirk was killed back in 1994's Star Trek: Generations, Trekkies have held out hope that William Shatner would return one day to the captain's chair. Given J.J. Abrams penchant for secrecy, there's always a chance that old Kirk will show up in the new Star Trek for a cameo. (Just don't count on it). If Shatner never voyages into the final frontier again, he's still given fans plenty of awesomeness outside of the 23rd century. A rundown of the facts: he's Canadian, he gives recording studio engineers a hard time when they inappropriately correct his delivery, and his acting style is so remarkable that the adjective "Shatnerian" is now part of the public vernacular. The guy is nothing short of a treasure. To paraphrase Fatboy Slim, we've come a long, long way together, and now we should praise him. That's what this list is all about. From various acting gigs to his dubious musical pursuits, here's a look at eight of Bill Shatner's most memorable non-Starfleet gigs.

William Shatner's rendition of "Rocket Man" at the World Science Fiction convention in 1978 was a hoot.

He did a musical album in the late 60's called "The Transformed Man". He did such classics as "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds".
Pure Shatner.

BTW- (OT)- Brian, that avatar of Patty is smoking hot!
