Brent Spiner Talks Data, Star Trek: Next Generation and His Long Show Business Career

Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday. This week's episode is many months in the making! We recorded the first half of this interview with Brent Spiner back in January, but we were interrupted because Brent had to evacuate from his home in the Palisades during the Los Angeles fires. We were finally able to get together— in person this time— to finish our conversation, but it was not without more interruptions (I'll let you watch and see what I mean). What can I say, I guess Brent and I are all about the drama! You know the great Brent Spiner from his performance as Data, starting with Star Trek: Next Generation and in many other Star Trek vehicles over the last 40 years. He's also a fantastic writer and character actor, and I'm glad we got to talk about some of his other work in this episode, including his book Fan Fiction, his role as Bob Wheeler on Night Court and his long career as an actor. I'm such a fan of Brent and I'm so glad to finally able to share this conversation with you! This week's Hindsight is pretty epic because my producer Jeph and I get into everything that went on behind the scenes to get this episode ready for release. Plus, we answer your fan questions from the Mailsack!
