He has finally hit bottom as a spokesman for that ambulance chaser, Joe Bornstein.

I thought you meant he was "into" spanking. Who's Joe Bornstein?

I, also, observed that since being type cast as "Denny," Cap'n Smirk is doing local ambulance chaser commercials on tv. I saw one while back in the midwest over the holidays.

Well, maybe now that poor little animal that he has trapped on his head will talk to the lawyer about suing for damages - extreme emotional damage from having to witness the acting disability 24/7.

I called Bill up. He says it's all a misunderstanding. He did hit her bottom a few times...but she asked him to...and her Dad said it was okay.

Denny Crane is a pompous, self-satisfied incompetent idiot - the perfect role for shatner as he doesn't need to act.

For those who don't know, Joe Bornstien is a local Law office. They advertise on TV. Around here they are called ambulance chasers. Guess they got tired of Robert Vaughan (Napoleon Solo)

I want to know more about this spanking thing he's into. Do you think that the cops will eventually raid it? Will he survive the resultant trial and publicity? I assume it's sort of like that Cleveland Street scandal back in the 19th Century.

My opinion always was that he hit bottom with T.J. Hooker. I think he's doing great these days. The man does tacky ads deliberately. He never ceases finding opportunities to lampoon himself. We need more politicians with that kind of sense of humor about themselves.

Don't tempt fate, this is after all a tradition of bad actors becoming poiticians, see R Reagan and A Schwarznegger.

I agree with Little Hawk about Shatner doing tacky ads deliberately. I think it just adds SO much to believe Bornstein was likely attracted to Shatner as a spokesperson because of the Denny Crane character. Want a spokesperson? Get a guy who plays THE egotistiocal, ambulance chasing, sleazy lawyer stereotype.

"Boston Legal" is going the way of "The Practise" and "Ally McBeal" due to the pulchritudinous proclivities of the series author David Kelley:

Shatner's doing ambulance chaser lawyer stints all over--even here for some dawg in the NE. "Denny Crane" will help turn these firms around! BTW--why did they EVER get rid of that Rhona Mitra with the swell Brit accent, and the swell...uh....looks to boot? I MISS her. I WANT her. I will consider selling my soul for her. RHONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'm standing down here in my sleeveless undershirt, all sweaty, muscular and in obvious heartache...RHONAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Tsk, tsk. Such nasty rumours! Look, I know exactly what I'm doing. My every move is calculated to render precisely the effect I had in mind. You don't spend 3 years on the cardboard and styrofoam set of an imaginary starship bridge pretending to launch "photon torpedoes" and fire "phasers" at Klingons and Romulans without learning how to plan each move carefully, mister. You don't act opposite prima donnas like De Forest Kelly and Leonard Nimoy without gaining some strategic sense of timing. No indeedy. Every commercial I have ever done has fit seamlessly into the tapestry of my artistic life, and I like to think that in some small way I have touched a few hearts out there and tickled a few ribs by stretching the boundaries of performance art where others dared not go.

The Joe Bornstein ad is an accomplishment I am proud of.

The stuff about my briefs may or may not be true. I'm not saying. A little mystery never hurts.

Thinking on it, I find it disgusting and reprehensible that William Shatner hit bottom. I'd think that having an ass's head put on his shoulders would be quite enough without Shatner belting him one as well.
