This is in Revelation.

Shatner wins an acting award.

No. It's when he wins a singing award that the earth will implode.
(didn't you see that Twilight Zone episode where Shatner, the newlywed, becomes obsessed with the fortune telling napkin machine in the hick town where he and his wife stop for car repairs? Tour de force.)

I feel sorry for him.

Wasn't he the one who lost it when he saw the alien on the airplane wing trying to destroy the engines too? (on the original-not the remake)
Maybe Rod Serling had a "stable" of actors like the old movie studios?
Or maybe I'm wrong?

Yes, that was him. Shows like the Twilight Zone had a sort of repertory company of low budget actors some of whom made it to the big time.
I have seen a bits and pieces of "Boston Legal" and Bill is definitely a hoot in it. Now that he is playing off Candace Bergin, I just might make it through a whole episode.

Did anyone see him on Third Rock from the Sun?

He was hysterical. Really great performance.

Best wishes,

I was going to say something, but I'm just laughing too hard. I just hope the world ends before dinner time. I'm not in the mood to cook.

That's Tolkein, the well-known Dutch author, as opposed to Tolkien, the only slightly-less well-known author of Lord of the Rings, I suppose?

Oh, FINE, MarMil...just beat up on my creative sensibilities, why don't you? Here-- I've fixed it, just for you:

That was a great episode!

Did you see the one (second series, not original) where the Sheriff put the real Santa Claus in jail for attempted burglary and confided to someone that he had always wanted a blue Buck Rogers ray-gun as a child. Finally his kid convinces him to let Santa go, and as Santa is flying away in his sleigh at the end, he drops that blue Buck Rogers ray-gun at the Sheriff's feet.

Well, he was no Arnold Schwarzeneger...

Bronson was already very big in Japan in the late '60s, when most Americans still probably couldn't have put a name to his face. I used to have a Japanese poster that showed him in cowboy gear, kneeling at a stream in some red-rock canyon, next to his horse. It didn't seem to be a movie poster. I wish I knew what happened to it.
