Yes, Billy boy is 75 today and appears to be busier than ever. Check out many facts about the OTS at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shatner) or if you wish to become one of his dutiful follwers check out The First Church of Shatnerology (http://www.shatnerology.com/).

75, wow. I can't believe he's that old.
BTW, will South Park ever do a send up of Shatnerology?
I'd have to say that Shatner's peak was definitely the '80s. He had a popular show (don't remember if it was a 'hit', but I thought it was pretty fun) 'T.J. Hooker', and was also doing the ST movies.
I think his peak is now, actually. He's getting more screen time as an aging action star then he has in years. And he looks like he's having more fun with it. I gotta give him credit where its due, he's a lot of fun these days.

Yeah, Shatner's made his pile (and probably gets a nice royalty check every month), is a pop icon who's secured a spot for himself in tv history. Now's the time to kick back and have fun.
Everyone keeping up with Boston Legal? You should --
Shatner's character thinks he has Mad Cow Disease, but is probably in the early stages of Alzheimer's. He shoots one of his own clients in the leg because he doesn't approve of him.
He propositions every woman he gets within earshot. He boozes constantly. He gives the great impression of one teetering on the brink/just barely under control.
I love him. He is my signature:

The Toupeed one is haveing a BALL these days!
Whats not to love?
Heh...i'd love to see a Dr. Who/ Star Trek crossover. Spock and the Dr. are saveing the universe, and Kirk is Hitting on Sara jane....

I've been wanting to watch it since it debuted, but I haven't. I've never been able to get into any David E. Kelley show.
