OK, we know began his career in TV. But Shatner was going nowhere fast following his big-screen Kirk roles.
It took TV to free him from typecast, with a scene-stealing role as attorney Denny Crane in Boston Legal bagging him three Emmys and a Golden Globe.

I don't know why William Shatner is in this line up, he wasn't really a film thespian to begin with granted the first thing he was in according to imdb was a film but the Shatner is a TV actor.

Maybe he wasn't included as he wasn't a big a massive star before hand, but I think Timothy Olyphant deserves a mention. Before his flawless performance as Seth Bullock in Deadwood, Olyphant was a in Scream 2, Go, Rock Star, Gone in 60 Seconds and A Man Apart - to name but a few. Not exactly the CV you would expect from an actor cast to play the multifaceted, tough-as-old-boots sheriff of Deadwood. Wouldn't you call that a reinvention?
