I will never under estimate William Shatner again

Ok, I know this is a little off topic because it revolves around a TV show, but William Shatner is a Movie Star too so it counts. I caught an episode of “The Practice” spin off show called “Boston Legal” last night. One of the stars of the show is William Shatner. I’ve always thought Shatner was a useless actor. I’ve developed a mild appreciations for him over the last couple of years because of his comedy work and ability to poke fun at himself (something I wish more Hollywood folks were able to do). BUT WOW! No seriously folks… WOW!!!! Shatner was BRILLIANT in this show. Yes he was funny, but he also pulled off a couple of very challenging scenes with a range of emotion and strength that I NEVER DREAMED he was capable of. Oh yeah, Shatner also just won the Emmy award for Best Guest Appearance in a Drama (for playing the same charatcer on The Practice). I’m impressed. I’ll have to add Boston Legal to my Sunday night view list after Alias.
