Seem to be losing a lot of them lately. I'm braced for Shatner, that one's gonna hit hard.

I just watched "Rightful Heir" yesterday. The losses are mounting

It is getting to that point everyone is getting up there in age. Even Patrick Stewart too.
Shatner living this long is actually surprising.

I'm starting to think Shatner is an immortal like Highlander... silently moving down through the centuries, taking the hair pieces of others.
