Birthday: April 09

Title: Grand Vizier

Bio: I am six feet two inches of rippling muscle, wavy blond hair, sparkling wit and two-fisted defense of Family Values and the American way of life. (I did say that I write fantasy fiction, didn't I?) Addendum for the benefit of the humorless and/or brain-dead - The above was meant to be satirical. The parenthetical (that's the part between the curved vertical lines) should have alerted you to that intent.

Many may be unaware that Bill wrote several episodes of Star Trek, has written screenplays, novels, and The Ashes of Eden, for DC Comics.

More great stuff, Wayne! Just keep them coming! Shatner just cracks me up. He is way more talented than he gets credit for.

I have to admit, I love Mr. Shatner and I enjoy his entire catalog very much. Much like the two Bob's did Michael Bolton is "Office Space."

Dorinda - glad you liked it.
Karin - you're just one of many. Luv him on Boston Legal.
C Berg - thanx. I glad I can provide a service.
Michael - I have a few more in the pipeline.
Greg - Shatner is quite eclectic, isn't he? (No Bolton fan here.)

Whoo! Has that man failed at anything that he's tried? Do you know that he tried some rap, and did just fine? I loves me some Shatner, and thank you for this tidbit.

I would love to listen to him interviewing Christopher Walken. Walken speaks in the rhythm of jazz dance. Shatner has his own particular cadence...it might blow out the speakers, though.
