Voice actor Maurice LaMarche (Futurama, Pinky & The Brain) is heralding March 22 as "International Talk Like William Shatner Day" for which he also created a video tutorial explaining how to do a proper Shatner impression.

Moe (as he's known to friends and fans) originally posted this as an exclusive to his Facebook fan group, but I encouraged him to upload it to YouTube so it could possibly go viral, and he gave me the first opportunity to promote it outside of Facebook:

Voice Actors in the News: Happy Birthday, William Shatner!

Feel free to share with friends!

Also, for your viewing pleasure, here's a classic segment from Animaniacs with Moe performing Shatner in "Karaoke-dokie":

I bleed green, for a number of reasons. (Trekkies- or trekkers- will get that.)

Kirk: Well, Mr Spock, if we can't disguise you, we'll find some way of explaining you.
Spock: That should prove interesting.

In case you haven't seen it, here's my small tribute to William Shatner. At a corporate sales meeting for an auto parts chain at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas several years ago, I played Star Trek's Chief Engineer Scott in a sketch and in it Scotty impersonates Capt. Kirk.

Oh, and Doctor McCoy briefly, too.

I'm not a Starship engineer, but I've played one in Vegas,
