Actually, for Shakespearean plays, William Shatner's style would work well. And in fact, Gene Roddenberry actually wanted that style for Star Trek!...the Shakespearean Hero thing. I think, though, by the time 1986 came around, and Mr Roddenberry was casting for ST:TNG, he perhaps realized that having a classically trained Shakespearean actor: Good. Having a Shakespearean-quality stage/movie actor who doesn't actually speak in the common Shakespearean dialect of the moment during a futuristic show: Even better. So came Patrick Stewart! At least that's my theory...
