Capt Pike, in "The Cage", was played by the late (note *late*) Jeffrey
Hunter. I don't know if he was replaced by Shatner because he was killed
or whether he was fired (so to speak) before his death.

He died after breaking his neck in a fall down his cellar steps
wuite a few years ago.  He is possibly most known for his portrayal
of Christ in the movie *King of Kings* shown in every city on at least
one station *every* Easter season.
