Here is a look three other roles that make him an institution Denny Crane in The Practice/Boston Legal (2004-2008) Shatner's portrayal of Denny Crane, an unhinged attorney in The Practice and its spin-off Boston Legal became a rage among fans. Moreover, its popularity rivaled that of Kirk and that speaks volumes about its reach. His energy levels and crackling chemistry with James Spader were the biggest highlights of the shows. Stan Fields in Miss Congeniality (2000) Miss Congeniality was a goofy comedy which starred Sandra Bullock as an FBI agent who goes undercover to participate in a beauty contest and foil a bomb threat. It featured Shanter as the clueless host and he stole every scene he appeared in with his effortless performance. While he had a fairly short role in Miss Congeniality, he managed to steal the show nonetheless. TJ Hooker in TJ Hooker (1982-1986) The well-received cop drama was designed as a star vehicle for Shatner and it delivered the good. The show, which featured him in the role of Sgt Thomas Jefferson Hooker emerged as a runaway hit and helped the actor give proof of his mettle. TJ Hooker was set in an unnamed city and also featured Heather Locklear (then a newcomer) in a key role.
