And speaking of admiration, let's not forget Shatner was old enough to be on this forum when he did 85 episoids of T. J. Hooker opposite

"Shatner had a long dry spell in the decade between the original Star Trek series and the first Trek film, which he believes was due to his being typecast as Captain Kirk, making it difficult to find other work. Moreover, his wife Gloria Rand left him. With very little money and acting prospects, he lived in a truck bed camper in the San Fernando Valley until acting bit-parts turned into higher paying roles." Wikipedia
