He was certainly a childhood hero of mine growing up. I like him despite some glaring personality flaws.
Aside from me, I actually don't know any living people without any glaring personality flaws, so I cut him some slack.
I think you suffer from an excess of modesty, but other than that…
I need all that modesty to stay grounded with the common folk.

I always felt it was a travesty that he was never nominated for a leading role Emmy for ST:TOS. Watching “The Ultimate Computer,” demonstrates what a truly fine actor he is, especially in the final act, first, as Kirk reacts to the viewing screen image of the four war games starships being obliterated by the M-5, then later, via link-up with the library station computer, when Kirk succeeds in convincing M-5 to cease the attack. Just a great, IMO, award-worthy performance by Bill Shatner. I also recall him in an intense mid-seventies TV drama, “The Tenth Level,” where he was also excellent playing a psychology professor.
Happy Birthday (actor, author, horseman, and astronaut), William Shatner. May you continue living and prospering!
And William Marshal as Dr. Daystrom.
Of course especially back then, it was fantasy/sci-fi, and anything in those genres were never regarded as serious equal theater by Academy/Emmy types. :/

Shouldn't Shatner look exactly like his aged character in the 2nd season episode "The Deadly Years"? 
The man has incredible energy. I saw in Montreal in 2012 and he commanded that stage, making Stewart look like a frail old man.

Boldly going to the bathroom more than he's ever gone before.

I was there too and I think they were the three in great shape (Malcolm McDowell came on stage at one time).
It was a really funny exchange between three different personalities. I loved every second of it.
Even when they made fun of some questions.
And yeah... I got my picture with him.
Just saw him **Spoiler alert** in a sci-fi show called Haven.
He was brilliant in that one and got praised from the crew in Nova Scotia.
McDowell was the icing. Brought down the house.
I also loved how Mr. Shatner pointed out the absolute and maddening lack of petrol stations in downtown Montreal. So much on point. Tourists, you've been warned.

Besides Star Trek and TGB I can't name anything he's been in.
