What few probably think about when watching this interview with Tom Snyder is Brent is 47 years old at the time of this interview. He looks like he's no more than 30. Even today he does not look like he's 74. And, Tom was the best interviewer ever. Really miss him!
Brent was quite handsome in his youth! I've seen him in many films and TV shows and absolutely adored every role he was in. Even when he was the villain.
He's in a lot of movies and TV shows, actually. Its just that he may look different in his various roles. I learned to recognize him by the shape of his nose and lips.
Why does everyone always say he appeared regularly in star trek?????? )Whoppie goldberg appears regularly) data was like in almost every scene? why dont they say a main cast member. They wouldnt drare say patrick steward appeared regularly in star trek. Why would brent be any different?
What's fun is watching the few ST:TNG outtake (blooper) reels, where you see everyone laugh, and you see Brent, in Data's makeup / uniform, with that big smile.
If I didn't already know him as Data.. would I cast him as Data.. such a difficult mind game for me. I can't see him out of character and not see him as Data.. but is that because of years of conditioning or is he just a natural fit.. wish I could have been present for his Data audition.
You almost certainly would. He's a very underrated actor and I'm sure his audition was fantastic. Once he gets into character, you'll no longer see him as Brent Spiner the actor.
Brent is very interesting, I always liked his acting on Star Trek, he made his character very real. When I looked up his history on google, I discovered he was from Houston, Texas. So, I kept reading because I was born and raised in Houston near the same time. I graduated high school in 1969 and Astroworld was very popular in those years. Brent said he had several character jobs there. Made me wonder if I saw him there. Anyway, I really enjoyed Brent as Data, great job! Hope to see you in more shows!
Brent is & always will be the sexiest damn Droid in TV history! He also sings masterfully! The first thing I ever saw him in was #NightCourt! #OutToSea, #MasterofDisguise, & #IndependenceDay were just some of my other favorite Brent Spiner works! Data, Lore, B4, the entire Soong family!
Wow! I don't see this when it aired. In fact I don't think I watched Snyder's second show; I would have been at work when it was on. But I was a major Tomorrow Show fan. Tom was terrific.
OMG, that hospital story is priceless :D Also his mouth is super cute. The rest of his face is quite average, but his lips and teeth are basically perfection.
Shallow comment like you're disecting facial parts. So superficial. Did it occur to you to notice how his smart and kind personality reflects in his expressions? Can you go that deep?
I just saw an episode of To Tell The Truth where a cab driver played a trumpet to his passengers. Brent played an imposter number 2 but his name at the end was not Spiner and said his career was photographing Squirrels and ducks. He never mentions that hear i would have loved someone to have called and asked him about this. Its on You Tube in case anyone wants to see it. BRENT SPINER ON TO TELL THE TRUTH.
Why would you get a non-Star Trek fan as the one caller? Jeez. And then to ask Brent, who is just an actor in Star Trek and isn't a fanboy? Sorry but they dropped the ball on that one.
Did anyone else notice his pupils are different sizes? The left is slightly bigger than the right. I haven´t noticed it in interviews or comicons since. This is the only time it´s so visible or clear to see. When you google him it doesn´t say he has a brother. I haven´t seen it on wikipedia
I can imagine Brent singing Aramis like the divine Santiago Cabrera as in the BBC romp in leather. Episode 3 or nearby when aramis is about to face a firing squad. He says, im unpopular. I havent been unpopular before and i do not like it. Whether its the hats, or the leather, musketeers really was a pleasure for women.
I don´t really see a difference in eye color. The iris in his left eye (I believe it´s the left) is a bit bigger/larger than in his right eye. Other than that there is no difference in his eyes.
Nah. He doesn't. Blue eyes both of them. Met him in person. Real nice guy. We just talked about music, Savannah, GA, Johnny Mercer and his book Fanficition.
Oh. My. God. That story about breaking a thermometer in some guy's ass was both horrifying and hilarious at the same time.

He was still Data then if he was just 47. He is a GREAT interviewee. He’s SO cool! I’ve seen him in so many interviews and conventions.
Brent Spiner really has a lovely smile ^.^
All the fangirls came here to drool over Brent. That fangirl is me. I am she.
I mean, same
Yess same as well!
Mood
Same here 👀
Yup. Called out and totally fine with it.
That's not Brent Spiner. That's Lore.
No, that's a Brent Spiner clone.
Wrong. It's Pierre.
Agreed, he is using contractions, definitely an imposter.
Hahahaha:)
Well he said playing lore was easier than data because he is more like himself
I wish Brent was in more movies and tv shows, he is an amazing actor and personality
fresh hell

"can you answer some questions"
"Sure"
"No you CAN'T DON'T EVEN TRY"
Yes it's true! A similar event did occur in New Jersey some 20 years ago
Why does everyone always say he appeared regularly in star trek?????? )Whoppie goldberg appears regularly) data was like in almost every scene? why dont they say a main cast member. They wouldnt drare say patrick steward appeared regularly in star trek. Why would brent be any different?
she was in less than 20 episodes. data is part of the main cast he's not a recurring character
He appears in a weekly TV series, therefore he appears REGULARLY. That's how the word regular works.
An underrated actor. He is fantastic actor!
I don't think he's underrated, he's just typecast as data.
Oh gosh he is so cute..
No, you are.
Of course he is, not to mention how hot he is he's a beautiful creature and he's my favorite actor!❤💋
WE LOVE YOU BRENT SPINER!!
What a great interview.
Hasn't he got the most gorgeous smile? And that voice! Love the way he says exactly.
Doesn´t Data also say that a lot? On Twitter too :)
What's fun is watching the few ST:TNG outtake (blooper) reels, where you see everyone laugh, and you see Brent, in Data's makeup / uniform, with that big smile.
His latest book is available as an audio book spoken by himself. "Fan fiction".
This was the Best interview I've heard from him. See what an atmosphere different from that of a Comiccon can do?
Aww looks like Data finally got to be human.
I do recommend Cold Equations trilogy then XD What we should have gotten out of the Nu Trek. But this is basiy how Data would have looked like.
His smile, his smirks, and his smug
My goodness he's precious man ever
If I didn't already know him as Data.. would I cast him as Data.. such a difficult mind game for me. I can't see him out of character and not see him as Data.. but is that because of years of conditioning or is he just a natural fit.. wish I could have been present for his Data audition.

anyone have a link to his audition?

You do know he’s fully functional!
He is so handsome and very talented actor. I hope he gets more roles, now. He can play anything.
"the disorderly orderly" :D
ugh... he’s so beautiful and so underrated
Delicious
He was so believable playing Data.
Anyone noticed that one pupil is constricted and the other is dilated?
never noticed before he has 2 different coloured eyes
+13doctorwho Data was given pale skin and yellow eyes to remind people he is an Android and also to act as a trademark thing to Soong-Type Androids.
Pretty common for robots.
Both his eyes are baby blues
light contrast maybe?
@@adamdaichendt3838 maybe
Brent Spiner is a gem
Oh My God.... The thermometer story would make an excellent comedy skit 😎
In the STTNG episode "Masks" he exhibits almost a full range of different characters
"A Fistful of Data´s" as well
This is the first time I’ve seen him be halfway serious lol
He really does have something wrong with his eyes (pupil in one side is bigger). I thought it was the weird contact lenses he had to wear on the show.
Hes using contractions..... uh oh....
Still Fully Functional to this day!
That is LORE!
Brent is & always will be the sexiest damn Droid in TV history! He also sings masterfully! The first thing I ever saw him in was #NightCourt! #OutToSea, #MasterofDisguise, & #IndependenceDay were just some of my other favorite Brent Spiner works! Data, Lore, B4, the entire Soong family!
...and UH... UHHH....
Still love you, Brent.
I loved him in Night Court
Wait. Are you telling me Data managed to become human?
I'm a 27 year old woman and I always imitated jerry lewis as a kid...still do sometimes :)
back when the Late Late Show wasn't a clownshow
Brent appears to be Ellen Degeneris' brother in this interview. The eyes are uncanny.
3:33 ... That's not funny ... that man was me!
Imagine phoning in to a TV show featuring an actor from a series you don't watch just to say you don't watch it.
It's simply amazing that Tom Snyder was able to conduct this interview in 1996 from 1981.
Great Actor!
Jeez!! How much makeup did they use back then?? O_o
Anyway, it was cool to see an interview from this time period.
Wow! I don't see this when it aired. In fact I don't think I watched Snyder's second show; I would have been at work when it was on. But I was a major Tomorrow Show fan. Tom was terrific.
My cousin still calls him Brent "Spinner". Of course, he still calls it "Star Track" also, so there's that.
Most people pronounce it “Star Track”
Really handsome.
He sounds a lot more southern here. Interesting.
He's from Texas XD Makes sense.
OMG, that hospital story is priceless :D
Also his mouth is super cute. The rest of his face is quite average, but his lips and teeth are basically perfection.
V1kte lol what he doesnt have a top lip, its actually wierd
This comment is the weirdest thing i've seen in a long time.
Shallow comment like you're disecting facial parts. So superficial.
Did it occur to you to notice how his smart and kind personality reflects in his expressions?
Can you go that deep?
this is weird but I'm getting Ellen Degeneres vibes
This is a killer interview! Thanks

BRENT SPINER ON TO TELL THE TRUTH.
Brent spiner doesnt do a lot of interviews so this is mega interesting .
It's no wonder he was so excellent as Data
Why would you get a non-Star Trek fan as the one caller? Jeez. And then to ask Brent, who is just an actor in Star Trek and isn't a fanboy? Sorry but they dropped the ball on that one.
What a great interview.
Omg that first caller was lame. Stick to your Gilmore girls, lady.
Cool guy.
I liked him in Dude Where's My Car
Honorable
didnt think it would last, ended up being more than twice as long as TOS, which i was always bored by anyway, much more of a TNG or voyager person
Brent reminds me a bit of Tobey Maguire here.
Swooning! 🥰😍
Did anyone else notice his pupils are different sizes? The left is slightly bigger than the right. I haven´t noticed it in interviews or comicons since. This is the only time it´s so visible or clear to see.

His brother is Lore
Brent's brother died in the 1990s
most underated actor
What a great interview they really seemed to have a rapport
Snyder talks too much.
woooowie... hes so pretty shut up
not yet.... loooooooooooooooooooool
wipeoutguy I know!! 😂🤣
Does he have Heterochromia or is just the lighting?
the lighting
They hired you at 16 yo? Bad idea.
He kind of looks like Jon Stewart here
No race baiting on TNG.
Total acceptance.
hope to see you again in star trek series movies. respawn or somehow.
I can imagine Brent singing Aramis like the divine Santiago Cabrera as in the BBC romp in leather. Episode 3 or nearby when aramis is about to face a firing squad. He says, im unpopular.

DVD star trek all
He was.
What year was this
1996.
Benny! Lol fuck yeah
Funhaus
Hey look, it's Brent Spider.
He has Heterochromia (probably murdered the spelling on that). I never new- I love discovering new particulars about him; no matter how miniscule.
I don´t really see a difference in eye color. The iris in his left eye (I believe it´s the left) is a bit bigger/larger than in his right eye. Other than that there is no difference in his eyes.
Nah. He doesn't. Blue eyes both of them. Met him in person. Real nice guy. We just talked about music, Savannah, GA, Johnny Mercer and his book Fanficition.
the is not brent its B4
Oh back when i could watch a late night show without being demonized.
A brother? mmm....
and uh
He didn't do Star Trek. He did the next generation. Signed True Trekkie
