    He's a naturally funny guy. His constant denial of every impression's accuracy is just part of his schtik. It's like, I remember when the movie "Galaxy Quest" came out, he mentioned that he recognized every character as a Star Trek reference, except for the Tim Allen part. He was like, "for the life of me, I don't know who he's supposed to be. What are they doing with this?"

    I saw Shatner at a sci fi convention. The audience was on the verge of rioting because the electricity went out, but the charismatic Shatner ran to the center of the stage and yelled orders at everyone, which they obeyed to the letter just as happened on Star Trek. It became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. He is a natural leader in real life.

    Shatner's stylized acting/over-acting isn't for everyone, but its unique and memorable. You can pretty much do an impression of him saying anything and people will immediately recognize it. That's an amazing thing.

    The Kirk character was a believable threat, in all situations. Like the character Jim West. He wasn't some muscle bound behemoth, he was a credibly build for a wrestler. The action was always gritty and realistic which helped ground the fantastical situations of the show. People tease over his cadence but fail to notice the subtle fact that the alien beings he's interacting with, don't speak English as a first language. Shatner was a true actor, and played the role of Kirk like few men could.
