Kevin Pollak Captain Kirk impression

Actor/impressionist Kevin Pollak gives a "free" sample of his impression of William Shatner Commander James. T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise. This was recorded at a Toronto Trek convention in 1991 ( the year of the 25th anniversary of Star Trek), where Pollak was a guest speaker. Mr. Pollak's own website is: http://www.kevinpollak.net. In my first posting I incorrectly spelled his name "Pollock" and, judging from what I've seen on the web, I am not the only one to do so. My appologies.

could this be the best impersonation of anybody by anybody?

Kevin Pollack sounds more like Shatner than Shatner does lol.

You guys saying his voice isn't really close to Shatner's have to realize that's partly because of the microphone and partly because Pollack didn't want to give 100% for this freebie. Look for an segment from his "One Night Stand" HBO appearance in 1989 where you can see the full routine. You can find it here on YouTube by searching for "Kevin Pollack Star Trek." The complete episode was very funny and full of other excellent impressions, but the full episode is not available on YouTube.

What a tool. Terrible impression... Not funny at all

It's interesting how William Shatner's voice was sharper and higher-pitched in the original series than it was in the movies.

Didn't Kevin Pollak die or commit suicide recently? Great impression!!
