Favorite Shatner roles?
I liked him as the character he played on Third Rock from the Sun. I think his name was The Big Giant Head.

That Twilight Zone role was memorable.
I saw Shatner this week on a Six Million Dollar Man episode. He played an astronaut who was exposed to an electrical field in space and returned to Earth with super mental powers.
HahA! I remember that episode. Shatner's character could talk to dolphins which sort of reminded me of Spock talking to the humpbacks whales. Must have been an interesting clash of egos on set of that episode between Shat and Lee Majors.

Absolutely Boston Legal/Denny Crane and an early Roger Corman performance as a kind of neo-Nazi in The Intruder...
shareHis two performances in the Twilight Zone, and when he was on Thriller in an episode called "The Hungry Glass". There was also an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents that he was in, in which he plays a mommy's boy who kills his girlfriend. I like his roles from the late 50s and early 60s, as I like a lot of the shows from that era in general. He seemed to be quite good at the psychological thriller type stuff.
shareBesides Capt. Kirk, I loved him in both Twilight Zone episodes (especially Nightmare at 20,000 Feet).
