When you look at the career of William Shatner you can understand why he is loaded with talent and when it comes to commercials I can easily say that commercials are William Shatner's strongest link and I don't know how he became a commercial star. Because when you look at the general picture William Shatner has done commercials for Promise Margarine Commodore 64 computers in the 80's commercials for his own line of computer games and is now promoting senior health products and I can tell you William could easily break the records of the late Ron Popeil and the late Billy Mays if there was a Commercial Olympics. I think that when Star Trek was over William Shatner wanted to venture out into doing commercials and look what commercial fame has done to him. Next thing you'll realize is that he will become an infomercial host hawking various products in the future
