Canst thou hold up thy heavy eyes awhile,
And touch thy instrument a strain or two?

OMG!! *__________________*

I just love his stage age, even I hadn't ever seen him acting in one of them, I bet it was glorious!

"The Merchant of Venice, Act II, Scene 9" picture = BABY FACE! <3

"The Merry Wives of Windsor, Act III, Scene 4" picture is quite interesting, he's looking so different yet it IS he! ^^

Shatner as young Lucius is E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!! CUTE CUTE CUTE!

*saves* *saves*

Ah, sorry, Tinto, I took so long to see your post and comment... but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! <3

I knew you'd like them. ^^

Most of his roles were pretty small, but he appeared in a lot of plays. I'm not sure if his acting was "glorious", but I bet he gave his best, especially since Amelia Hall, founder of the Canadian Repertory Theatre and Stratford's leading lady, didn't think of him as a "character actor."

Now, I don't think you are a character actor, and since you'll probably play only young men, I won't be able to put you on stage every week. I can give you a job if you can do some work in the office when you aren't acting.
