Brent Spiner is amazing. If you love him, thumbs up this comment and check out his webseries on YouTube called Fresh Hell. user/FreshHellSeries . This isn't spam, just trying to promote a fantastically talented actor and person.
When I met the guy...I really liked him. His introversion came out just a bit, but he truly was charming. I have met a number of celebrities, he is the best I don't find myself wanting many others successful I feel kind of envious. I wish him all the success he deserces, which is considerable.
@gsus7125 yes he is the guy who was in science fiction films as well, but unlike people like the entire cast of Star Trek. he doesn't want to have any much more to do with Star wars. he wants to be known for other things that will never be as big as his role In Star Wars.
I keep telling myself, "I want to like Brent Spiner... I WANT to like Brent Spiner..." But I'm going to have to be content with simply liking the CHARACTERS he portrays in TV, film, and theater... I mean, honestly, I WANT to like Brent Spiner...
HAHA! Does anyone else hear the SW music in the backround. I love Brent. He is one of the nicest StarTrek actor. "Swimming in a rainbow with thousands of naked babies." AhAHAHAAHAHA.
exactly ;) what do you say to something like that... you just struggle to compose yourself while pros like Spiner keep a straight face as if they were talking about the weather
I like Brent, but find him extremely apathetic in an interview situation. He may be a great actor, but he's wasting the reporter's time. If he doesn't like doing cons or interviews, then he should decline. There are less than a handful of interviews with Brent inwhich he actually answered questions or showed that he has any regard for his fans or the interview process. This interview makes him look like he'll only speak to the public if the company pays him. How sad for Brent who is well liked.
this may be hard to understand, but Brent isn't exactly a trekkie.
he has a whole body of acting work that has nothing to do with star trek or science fiction at all. I'm sure he took the role of Data because he thought it would be good, steady work that would help his career.
at the point he took the job, Star Trek was a 3 season show that had been cancelled for almost 20 years. If Rodenberry hadnt been alive at the time, TNG wouldnt have happened.
now imagine, for him, from that point after, no matter what he did, he was Data.
that means that role is going to stick with him for the rest of his life, and color all his work afterwards. Why do you think his character was killed off in Nemesis? he probably told them flat out he didnt want to be painted like an albino anymore.
This also may be hard to get, but some actors dont like getting typecast, living on royalty and residual checks, and doing the convention circuit.
exactly, thats where his true genius shines, when he's allowed to be exhuberant. they really stifled his potential as Data, basically making him a vulcan with even less emotion. Spiner is not a science fiction actor, he's more a Broadway actor.
I think what's amazing is that as Data on Star Trek, he shines through as being to many the most sympathetic and, often times, hilarious character of the entire cast, despite limitations in a character that might of stifled another weaker actor's performance.
exactly, the only actors worth a damn on TNG were Spiner, Stewart, Meaney, Burton(to some extent), and maybe about half the guest stars.
you can tell who was good because theyre not trying to live off the coattails of the Star Trek franchise. Spiner's been in the subsequent movies (probably due to contractual obligations), but other than that, he hasnt even been on a scifi gig. everyone else has been just barely getting by.
Lol right when he said I drive a Prius, I automatically thought of the commercial made by the people from "Weeds" - "Prius really good for sneaking up on motherfuckers".
Anyway, I hope he does do more acting in Star Trek. I know they got rid of Data, but you have to remember that they still have the prototype version, B-4. So hopefully he does.
Star Wars in the background. great stuff.

The quibbling about "Superhero: The Movie" reminds me of when someone pronounced Data's name "dah-ta" and he corrected her: "Day-ta."
"What?"
"You called me dah-ta."
"What's the difference?"
"One is my name. The other is not."
