SHATNER RULES? - HE SURE DOES

The Toronto Star has excerpted a section from William Shatner's new book, "Shatner Rules: Your Guides to Understanding the Shatnerverse and the World At Large".

Very interesting; at least to "Bill" fans...

Like writer Harlan Ellison, and Woody Allen, Shatner has earned a living exclusively from his chosen field.  Neither one of these men had to work, they claim, at a McJob while pursuing their desired careers.

How many of us can say that?

"Shatner Rules" might be fun reading:  As a matter of fact, "Required reading at the Academy."


The Captain Above the Clouds has just produced a feature-length documentary film...
"The Captains is a feature-length documentary I produced in which I traveled around the world and interviewed everyone who has played a captain with the Star Trek canon . . ."

"For close to seventy-five years now, since I was a kid, I have been acting. I have never made money for anything other than performing."

He didn't take any money for all the TekWar books? Or the Loblaws commercials?

He made millions, so I understand, from the TekWar franchise.

Yes, those priceless Loblaws commercials. (Involving performing.) In one such commercial spot: Shatner does his little speech regarding Loblaws and their NHL collector book; he sees Punch Imlach standing in line, opens the collector book and says, "that's you!"
