Best part is you can hear Spiner call upon this exact same character voice in Star Trek in the one episode where Data has started intermittently taken on a southern accent, particularly in the one scene where Spot keeps jumping on his command console and he finally puts the cat down saying "Vamoose ya lil' varmint!"

ReptorULTRA7 Full story: I'm a fan, but nowhere near as bit as my older brother, who is a hardcore Trekkie. So I figured I'd get an autograph from Spiner for him as an Xmas gift. I was thrilled to meet him, but I asked him to make it out to Jeff, and as I was turning to walk away he said "Nice to meet you Jeff." I turned around and told him "I'm not Jeff, I'm Dan." He was totally perplexed until I explained, and then he said "BRILLIANT DISGUISE! I though you were Jeff!"

Sugarsmaxx You think so? I think he’s gotten a ton. The reason there were so many episodes in TNG where he got to step out of the Data character was because the producers wanted to show his acting skills off. All those TNG actors were Shakespearean pros and I remember my friends talking about that as 10-year-olds when the show was new. If we knew how good they were at that age, then surely plenty of people are aware of how good Spiner and his peers are and were.

He just perfected the art of conveying a hell of a lot with subtly and restraint on a level a lot of actors couldn't pull off.

"Mother always said, 'It's always darkest just before the dawn.' Burned her retinas out, starin' into a solar eclipse." Bob Wheeler is one of the greatest comic characters ever written, and Brent Spiner's delivery is perfect! Of course, it helps to be in a room full of other great comedians who are willing to play the "Oliver Hardy" role in order to set up and respond to Spiner's "Stan Laurel" type character. I've always said that the best way to truly understand any actor's ability is to watch them in three different roles. In addition to the multiple, related roles Brent Spiner played on TNG, THIS role really helps to highlight the breadth of his skill set.

Did you ever have to eat Necco wafers at, say Halloween? Nasty, yucky, chalky things. Funny to me because: #1 - the flavor, #2: just the name, and #3: that Grandma left them in her ‘estate’ and not knowing why she saved them. I’m betting it was because she couldn’t stand to eat them either. lol🤦♀️

@@ronaldshank7589 There was all of that in the 1980's too. Night Court had all of that except the cursing in pretty much every episode. The John Larroquette character did little more than chase women and tell double entendre jokes. The extras in the courtroom always included young actresses dressed as hookers. And there was nothing wrong with that. If dirty jokes and boobs gets eyeballs on screens to keep the ratings up so the smart humor can be done more power to them. The problem with too many shows over the years is acting like doing a smart show excludes doing a show that will get good ratings.

@Dargonhuman4 жыл бұрын
@@kendallrivers1119 Friends appealed to the lowest common denominator, meaning lots of crude body humor, one-dimensional, braindead and/or borderline psychotic characters and the comedy comfortably seated in a non stop rain of one-liners and catch phrases. Frasier was far more intelligent and genuinely witty, with the comedy coming from the actual situations the characters found themselves in (which is the sit- in sit-com) and often the funniest scenes involved very little dialogue. The characters are so well written and developed that all they have to do is look at each other for a moment to get the entire joke out. More simply, Friends is the kind of show that spells everything out for the audience, making it easy for low-IQ people to "get it", whereas Frasier makes the viewer have to think about the joke, which the average TV watcher doesn't want to do.
@kendallrivers11194 жыл бұрын
@Dargonhuman And from all the interviews I've read or watched from various cast members and writers\producers etc. that was the exact intention Frasier as a show had. To do what they called 10 percenter jokes which is not being afraid to do jokes that only 10 percent of the audience would get but having the confidence that the other 90 would laugh at something else because the show was very, very layered. Frasier was intelligent and sophisticated but also balanced that out with good old fashioned slapstick and the working class\quirky characters to balance out the two wealthy super intellectual psychiatrists Frasier and Niles. Very diverse in its humor and that's why truck drivers and other every day people laugh and love it as much as the intellectuals. Another brilliant sitcom I feel is underrated is Barney Miller, a superior sitcom to most of the lot indeed.

I can think of another good example of this, one of the main characters from the movie Cube was Dr. McKay from Stargate Atlantis, and I watched Cube when it was recent in 1999, and was shocked when I went back and watched it more recently after having seen stargate atlantis, to see it was a young Dr. McKay, it kind of is hard to believe.
