Shanters jerkiness is no secret. He does seem to have mellowed with age and having quit drinking. It’s incredible he keeps going and flew into space at his age. The irony is Bezos’s own jerkiness overshadowed Shanters when you watch the video after he landed and Bezos is spraying campaign around a recovered alcoholic. Maybe Shanter lived so long in order to redeem himself? That’d be a very Kirk thing to have happen.
Maybe it was just because of the situation, but I briefly meet him about 15 years ago and he was perfectly pleasant. But it is different meeting someone one off and working with them. He was fairly old even then and I am still amazed he is with us.
He played the main bad guy in Loaded Weapon as well. I don’t know, also heard Shatner is bit of a jerk and could contribute to him living longer.
