William Shatner Refuses To Reprise His Role As Captain Kirk, ‘Star Trek’ Icon Says Character Is “Played Out”<\/a><\/p>\n

Say it ain’t so!\u00a0 Well, my real question is, “Was anybody actually asking?”\u00a0 Actually, eventually they would.\u00a0 The desperation in Hollywood will require even the deceased Star Trek actors to appear in later movies as digital zombies, kinda like poor Fred Astaire dancing with a broom in some vacuum cleaner advertisement.\u00a0 But Shatner is right.\u00a0 He’s outgrown Star Trek.\u00a0 He’s ready for Hamlet.\u00a0 Well, maybe Falstaff.\u00a0 He’s old and fat enough for it.\u00a0 But I kid, I kid.\u00a0 Shatner is one of the legends of early television and deserves all the attention and mockery we give him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hat tip to one of the Shat’s biggest fans for passing this along.<\/p>\n
