Alec Guiness, definitely. Not even a thought! Have to walk everywhere in normal clothing, or drive an expensive car of your choice but have to dress like Ronald McDonald. ---

If one seeks effusive bombast in their starship captains, then look no further than Shatner. A perfect pulled pork sandwich or satisfactory Caesar salad? ---

I don’t think I’d like either, but I guess an insurance agent. Not much of a green thumb. Bilbo: Ian Holm or Martin Freeman? ---
