William Shatner Says "I am Not Kirk", Plus Talks Comic Books in New Video Interview

Features

By GustavoLeao / 23:54, 19 October 2009 / General Genre/SciFi

Toronto Star posted a new interview with Star Trek star William Shatner and here are few excerpts.

"Why do you think people will be surprised to discover I'm so serious inside?" he asks harshly. "My God, does everyone think that I'm all of the characters they've seen me play over the years? Don't they know what acting means? No, I'm not Captain Kirk, no I'm not the man from Priceline." The silence smoulders.


"There's why I loved doing Boston Legal," he continues, in a calmer voice. "David Kelley allowed me to play both ends: Comic antics which hide a melancholy soul.... That's what I'm really all about."


The full interview is here.

Plus, a new video interview with Shatner in which he talks about his line of comic books, including TekWar, can be found here.

I think Shatner's candid comments tell us everything we need to know:

The real William Shatner is far more like Denny Crane than Captain Kirk. This is why Shatner won emmys for Boston Legal. He was playing himself.
