Avery Brooks from deep space 9 speaking at a convention

[Blastaarrocks]

My favorite captain on my favorite Star Trek series!

[VulcanGypsy]

I didn't see sisko as the best captain while watching the series. But then I saw Brooks at the Star Trek: Las Vegas Con last year...WOW! He's awesome! I felt like I was attending church! He opened by saying "The power, and the glory of all this - is in you. It is you.

[DataTheAndroid1]

Ben Sisko was the Barrack Obama of Star Trek captains. Thumbs up for The Sisko!

[io1011001]

I think he is the most sympathic captain in Star Trek, there seems to be no hate in Avery, also when there could be so much inside him.

[lozzyloveyou]

I always loved sisko for his sheer brutality (In comparison to other captains)

[fluideight]

DS9 was my favorite Star Trek I think and Sisko my favorite character hands down.

[SuLily]

wow, he sounds more normal than he was when I saw him in Tulsa... he was a bit wacko there...

[Linelia]

Mr. Brooks was the best Star Trek Captain to me, as well. He is exquisitely captivating!

[PKBitchGirl]

His voice is sexy, oh and Roots, I remember that, never read the book, but the series was brilliant, there's also a Star Trek connection, Levar Burton...

[Beef354]

HA! I was there!! Was that day 1 or 2?

[wise4me]

i wantd to be like him when i was younger.

[Calinks]

I want to be like him right now.

[KingDukas]

One smooth Dude right there.

[Conchobhar]

Oh my god, he has a sexy voice.

[JohnPaulSaylor]

Avery Brooks is really cool. Seriously.

[amaxamon]

Nah, he WAS the best Captain, ever.

[LoveNutz2]

Indeed.

[trekie01]

avery brooks portrayed one of the best federation captains of one of the best star trek series

[AriesTRam]

Avery Brooks is a professor at Rutgers Universwity in New Jersey, so it's no surprise he knows how to give a good lecture. He also has that commanding voice, and you can also tell from this clip that he's genuinely happy to be in New Zealand, esp. when he says, "Yay!" Or maybe -- he's acting! Ahhh!

[AriesTRam]

Oooppss! Meant to type "Rutgers University!" Wish there was an edit function on YouTube!

[HesDeadJim1701]

oh my god, what does he teach, I may just have to go there now!

[littleweapon74]

What a great actor, and the greatest Captain ever!!!

[AskariWaryaa]

A legend!

[ShadowGeno]

Wow I wish I could've been there, I would've been honoured to be in the same room as Mr Brooks.

[MadamGul]

He's a way better public speaker than some of the other cast members. It's surprising, but just because someone can act doesn't automatically make them a good public speaker. Many of the actors are shy or reserved in person. It takes all kinds of people to be in the acting business I guess.

[popiklena]

I respect Mr. Brooks with honors... working with him was a great honor.

[Boromir26]

Sorry about asking but DID you actually work at the DS 9 project????

I consider DS 9 the best SF series ever!Why don't they want to continue with the project.Did they run out of ideas cause i have a lot..... : ))))My respects to all who were involved.q

[trekie01]

Sisko really kick asses!!! ... Thanx to him the Federation won The Dominion Wars and all the Alpha and Beta quadrant

[pizzaguylol]

He's such a well spoken guy. Awesome voice. And funny too!

[bof998]

an extraordinary actor to say the least

[redkoolaid83]

He was great as Captain Sisko. I wouldn't say he was the best Captain but I really liked the character. I kept on waiting for him the entire run of the series to just once say "Spencer" now he was a bad ass in that show.

[Hottides]

IMHO, Sisko and Pichard tie for Best Trek Captains. Kirk, Janeway and Archer were shallow by comparison.

[Hindenburg1969]

He ws the best Star Trek captain.

[EnterpriseKnight]

Yeah

[Hibbs4Prez]

Nice.
