   Sounds strange, I know, but I've heard several actors on canceled   
   series say this in interviews and on talk shows. They showed up   
   for work, only to find that they no longer had jobs. Happens to   
   writers, also. They are given offices in studios. They go in to   
   write one morning, only to discover that somebody else has their   
   office. Something like this happened to Leonard Nimoy, I remember   
   reading in his autobiography "I Am Spock" but I can't recall the   
   details right now. It's a cold, cold profession, and you need the   
   skin of an armadillo to survive as an actor. Shatner has armadillo   
   skin.
