Summary: 


That's what I used to believe, until recently.  Somewhere (and as
soon as I remember where, I'll post a follow-up) I read an article
about Hunter's career with a rebuttal from his daughter (or some
similar relative).  The gist of the article was that he'd been
type-cast as Jesus/martyrs.  Anyway, the article claimed that he
demanded too much money to reprise Pike in the second pilot, considering
himself to be a bankable name in motion pictures.  Shatner, then,
was chosen because he worked cheap (my how times have changed).
