    The true measure of a mimic's talent is if he never has to TELL the audience who he's doing; that the impersonation is so good that you KNOW who it is immediately. Kevin does a great job.

    What makes Pollack's impressions so much fun is that he doesn't try to be _identical_ to the person he's impersonating. He does their defining characteristics at about 120%, and you can't help but laugh at how distinctive each of the actors is. His Kirk is the funniest I've ever seen because of his ability to exaggerate Shatner's acting quirks just enough.

    Hands down, the single best Nicholson you will EVER hear. Mostly because he doesn't go for the catchphrases -- he plays the "calm" Nicholson, the snarky Nicholson, the one who is BUILDING to the "You can't handle the truth" and "here's Johnny" lines, without ever getting there. Close your eyes, you can't tell them apart. Pure magic.

If you pay close attention you can see Kevin Pollak turn into William Shatner in a lot of his early movie roles, like "A Few Good Men" when he is arguing with Demi Moore and says "... because he couldn't run fast!"

    ​@@betaneptune That is classic Kirk , overplayed a bit to highlight Shatner's own "over the top" style , and that hand gesture when Kirk would be emphatic , almost pleading to be understood...you knew shite was serious when he did this .

    @betaneptune Lol ! Like that hand gesture is episode specific. Maybe not just ONE episode , mind you , but not all the time , either . Think about Kirk imploring some menace on the view screen to spare his ship . His crew . Can't you "see" the hand gesture ? The swinging face , admittedly , is exaggerated to a high degree to properly spoof Shatner's own exaggerated acting style . Are you just curious of specific examples ? You're not being defensive ? Because Pollack's impression comes from LOVE of the character and the actor . For me , James Kirk is , easily , in myTOP 5 , in Pop Culture/fictional characters , across ALL media , including Literature , Movies , TV , comic books , etc. THAT'S a lot of characters ! A lot of FANTASTIC characters ! But if I had to choose , among all these "characters ", if I had to pick just 5 , ULTIMATE HEROES , there would be a place for Kirk ! Would just HAVE TO BE , right ? Now. I was very sad when I heard of the actors who portrayed other champions , like McCoy , Scotty and the much beloved , Mr. Spock had passed , but I know I will WEEP for Shatner, just as I wept at the death of Kirk , falling , at last , while selflessly fighting for and saving others . As he always had . I couldn't help it , the character symbolized THAT MUCH to me. So , we are laughing with him , not at him , so to speak ...Shatner. of course , NOT Kirk . Remeber this video in your subconscious...and you will see bits revealed as you re-watch TOS and think "aha. thats what that dude was talking about ! Sorry , I went off on a tangent ,there ! Lol. "JUST" wanted ya to know I'm true Kirk fan and wouldn't be laughing at him , Shatner really , maliciously . Just another way to enjoy the character/actor . Cheers !

    Lee Anderson Paramount made _V_ partly to fulfil a contractual directorial agreement with Shatner back in 1986, but mostly to offset possible lawsuits over the collapse of the original fifth movie, _Starfleet Academy._ _VI,_ on the other hand was shot on the sets for The Next Generation for about 50 bucks because they felt they needed content on the big screen for the 25th anniversary of the old show.
