Dear creators of the "pray for the wildcats" website,
How dare you tarnish the image of our century's one truly great method actor, Mr. William Shatner! You obviously know nothing about the man behind the stretchpants. I know for a fact that he has never EVER done any illegal drugs (unless you consider freebasing shoe polish a criminal activity, which I certainly partake in and stand behind 100%). Mr. Shatner pours more raw emotion into every single line of dialogue than your unartistic mind could ever comprehend. You obviously aren't familiar with Stanislavski, the great method actor and teacher of our time, who actually raised William from childhood after his parents abandoned him by clubbing him and leaving him in a dumpster at age thirteen. You didn't know that, did you? You SICK, SICK examples of the decay of our society! Smoking a little shoe polish is hardly an offense when considering his unfortunate childhood. Stanislavski taught him to harness the pain he experienced as a child and release it through his acting. The pauses one hears in his lines of dialogue are actually caused by the uprooting of pain he is recalling from his childhood. He literally cannot recite an entire sentence without this pause because it is just TOO PAINFUL. You can almost see a tear running down his cheek in many of the early Star Trek episodes.
Now I can't say whether your reporting on that child rapist Andy Griffith and "Big Daddy" Brady (as the female extras on Brady Bunch called him) hold any water, but don't you EVER write an untruthful word about Mr. Shatner ever again! Mr. Shatner did not appear on your television set every week on Star Trek to entertain feeble minds like yourselves. He was venting! He's like a geyser of emotion that, if is not released, would certainly explode. And as we all know, no actor's career lasts forever and that is why he needed to find a new release, and thus, after experimenting with various household products, turned to shoe polish. But he certainly never used drugs!
Sincerely,
Matt Crum
Like you, I have had many problems with drugs and alcohol in my past. Like you, I was also hit on by Robert Reed, and also like you, I have been shunned by Bill Shatner. But, Terry, I'd really like you to try something that has given me great comfort after I could not put up with all the battles anymore: Faith in our good lord Jesus Christ.
While it can be easier to look to a truly manly figure like Bill Shatner as a father-figure/God, ultimately beleiving in Shatner will get you nowhere. His skills as an actor are nothing when compared to how our heavenly father created the earth in six days (with a seventh to rest). When Moses used God's power and will to part the Red Sea, it was much more significant than when TJ Hooker solved a mysterious crime. The only mystery with you, Terry, is why you haven't given yourself up to God.
So I encourage you Terry, to put aside the speed and cocaine binges. Put aside the tequila that you drank so frequently in Pray For The Wildcats. The heroin that runs through your blood, I pray, will run no more. Give yourself up to Jesus.
With Faith and Love,
C. Jonathon Miller
