His role as Lieutenant Commander Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation made him a star on the sci-fi scene. http://www.WatchMojo.com heads to Comiccon to ask him about his time on the show. When that fails, we talk baseball.

More Superhero Origins please!!!

[WatchMojo]

@EdmondSwitch They're on their way! Just stay tuned to our channel.

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.

@TranyaAddict This man actually has a brilliant sense of humour.

[desiduds]

Sounded like he had a cold, or he had food in his mouth. Dummy you interrupted his lunch. I had no idea Brent was a lefty. Intriguing!

[m0rbusPolytox]

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") ;)

[Baseshocks]

@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.

[Baseshocks]

@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.

@Baseshocks

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?

[Baseshocks]

@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....

[SpaghettiGirl1982]

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.

@MrPike1701

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.

[Rexicano]

@marcwitham

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.

[SEMAT56]

he is a HONORGABLE man!
