Shatner is damned amusing! You should have seen him doing Loblaws commercials in Canada back in the 70's ("But, by gosh, the price is right!").

I think he earned himself a worthy place in entertainment history as Captain Kirk, as much because of his overdone acting as for any other reason. To give Bill credit, I've seen him make fun of himself for bad acting.

RangerSteve - I am entirely willing to read "Seven Years in Tibet", but I can't promise when I'll get around to it.

I want to thank everyone for their enthusiastic participation in this most auspicious thread! Much obliged.

I also agree that Charlton Heston has done some really notably bad acting.

Carry on acting...
