James Spader as Alan Shore in Boston Legal © FOX
Jack Seale has the lowdown on the comedy drama's main players.

Denny Crane (William Shatner)

A cross between Alan Clark and a demented Rumpole, Denny's a legal legend, but now spends most of his time chasing women, insulting judges and firing guns indoors. One day, he'll go too far …

Alan Shore (James Spader, above)

The firm's best but most unstable lawyer has taken on the army, corporate giants and the firm itself with his deeply unconventional monologues. He's as mad as a wet hen, but the ladies love him.

Shirley Schmidt (Candice Bergen)

As Denny's ex, she struggles to keep him and Alan in line. A steely operator who can put profit ahead of her conscience - just.

Denise Bauer (Julie Bowen)

She can kill a man at ten paces with a viciously worded deposition, but her messy divorce sometimes reveals her soft, vulnerable side.
