18. WILLIAM SHATNER
There are many adjectives one could use to describe James Tiberius Kirk, interstellar man of action. Brave. Suave. Empathetic. But the one that best exemplifies the captain of the Enterprise is confident. Shatner was all swagger, like a blend of James Bond and young Elvis. (It's a blend he now uses to an exaggerated — and Emmy-winning — degree on Boston Legal.) Whether he was negotiating with mad geniuses, troubling with Tribbles, or macking on a bevy of space hotties, we bought Star Trek because Shatner sold it to us.
