this is awesome. shatner was actually a great shakespearian trained actor. he just never got the great gigs, and chose star trek as a "temp job." sort of didn't turn out the way he expected, i suspect...
That clip- I love it. With Shatner and West sharing the screen, do they draw straws on who gets to stroke whose ego in which scene or is it evens and odds.

This was from an unsold pilot for "Alexander the Great". I find it interesting that "Star Trek" and "Batman"...both stars (Shatner and West) started shows in 1966.
I've never seen the enire pilot, although it could be REALLY funny with Cotten and Cassavetes... It was aired on network TV I think ca. 1967 when both Shatner and West were already familiar faces for viewers.
I saw the entire pilot to this once. Had more than its share of cheeze, but had some good moments too. Shatner's horsemanship is pretty darned impressive (former equestrian here).
The really funny thing though, was that the pilot plot was basically a generic western story dressed up in Greek clothing. Change a few costumes and names and you've got the makings of an episode of Gunsmoke or Rawhide.
The two greatest over-actors of our time. Long live Batman and Admiral Kirk

After James T. Kirk's acting debut didn't pan out he decided to become a starship captain...

That's what she said.

The script was only fifteen minutes long, but with Shatner and West's pauses it was stretched to half hour.

Amazing how they could fit both their egos, and waistlines plus a horse into one scene.

they're perfect for each other. I can't think of one of these cheeze meisters without thinking of the other.
