While Data was the best thing that happened to him, it was in some ways the worst. No doubt he's been typecast & will always be Data to many people. I'm sure many actors auditioned for Data, but Brent fell into the same physical type as Patrick S., based on the successful prototype established by Spock . All 3 actors look alike and it was his physical appearance, as well as his talent, that sealed the deal.
I honestly can't understand how people don't get his sense of humor. He's a great guy and I thought it was obvious in this video. He's being frank and amiable with her while trying to add some levity to the same questions he's been asked for years. What is the problem here? I watch him in stuff like this and I never see a "jerk". I see a guy with a quick wit -a fantastic sense of humor. Sorry if it goes over your heads, but that's no reason to call him names.
Wow, a lot of sensitive souls commenting. I agree with Nickelberrynsc. No need to condemn the guy cause he wasn't all smiles. And these interviews sometimes can get annoying to watch. Doesn't anyone have any decent questions to ask these guys? Listen to the questions she asks...complete waste of time.
I really hope no one judges my entire personality based on a two and a half minute interview. Here's a word of the day for you folks, OBTUSE. Look it up.
He did get a bit terse when she asked him the audition question. I understand that he gets annoyed answering the same questions for 23 years. However, no one forced him to be at the conventions. Conventions where, I believe, he is handsomely paid. If he is tired of the questions, he can stop going to the conventions. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
What nonsense....right; I guess he didn't read YOUR Rule Book on how he's supposed to act. He's supposed to be your Whore and get asked the same stupid questions...and like it. He comes off here polite and funny but you want to make an issue of it because he doesn't act like you; you who have never had to work your ass off at a job and then expected to explain that job you did over and over...and over.
If it were me I'd say; You're boring me Interview Lady.
@Rexicano oh what do you mean.... its fucking show business. Megan Fox was canned off of Transformers for making a joke that Micheal Bay is a nazi for working too hard. The lady interviewing him is doing her job to she is showing him respect why does he not show it back... he got old knows he prob will not work on screen again so he does not care anymore. If he does not like to be asked questions like that why does he go to conventions....
Oh, I see...you watched this actor on TV so now he's your Nigger?
He's an actor, he did his job. So, he got old? WTF? Who are you? Peter Pan? You clearly live in a fantasy world. And you have such an asshole attitude. Well, if HE never got work again he can retire NOW on his pay from Star Trek. Jealous much?
@Rexicano you see how you feel after me being a dick toward him, now imagine how other people feel when he does it to them. I do not like doushebag people. Look at how other actors deal with it, the ones who hate it and cant handle it they just stay away from their fans, the ones who can handle it are positive. The ones who are doushebags lose fans... Its happens with all actors in entertainment. In what way do you think I cant tell the difference between him and Data. Continued.
He's not an arrogant asshole, in fact he has the same sense of humour as one of my friends. He just loves to take the piss, theres no harm in it, people who take it seriously are just funny.
Better arrogant than a clueless twit like you. Who the hell remembers YOU?
You expect him to be some sort of performing seal and clap for you 24/7? Real life seems to bother you; you get a real person instead of an android and you want to cry about the fact that he's not reading off your script. Idiot.
he's a jerk - and i GET him being sarcastic about himself! i just don't like him, that's all. (although, i LOVED "Data") ;)

@Rexicano I gave Megan Fox as an example if you are a doushe then it will be hard for you to find work. Brent clearly does not give a fuck anymore.

Too bad he is unappreciative about his fame... If it were not for Roddenberry and Night Court... No one would remember him. Arrogant... Man he is.
