So from the first year to the fifth year, we've seen Data get closer to basically being human-but he's not.
Truly, the best part of my job are the people.
If I'm not mistaken, I think Data was the comic relief on the show.
I think he is an extremely accessible character. In Data there is no potential for cruelty.
And I think it's likely that there will be Data's out there one day. I hope so, if there are, that they all look exactly like me!
Yes, Data is hairless but I am not. And we are both anatomically correct.
I have considered working with George Clooney, but so far, I'm only considering it.
I would assume that, at some point in the future, Paramount Pictures would consider doing a Next generation movie.
But we laugh all day long! And you can't knock that!
Radical surgery is never fun.
As I get older and I get more of this dialogue and I lose more and more brain cells, it really does become the most difficult part of the job!
Im thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.
I like to think of myself as the Rutger Hauer of this show Star Trek: The Next Generation. But then I like to think of myself as Rutger Hauer in real life: strikingly handsome, irresistible to women, an intergalactic enigma.
Having spent so much time in a fictional world, I prefer to read about the real world
