skip to 1:30, that's when the interview actually starts. man, i don't miss tv. they waste soo much time telling you what's "coming up." and then the intro they give him is so sad. they made Data sound miserable. sure, he wanted to be human, but he was a highly-regarded, very successful Starfleet officer. he had many awards, friends, romance, hobbies, his pet kitty. Picard fought for Data's right to be treated as a living being. he had a good life.
They should have put data between two bulkheads on the recut series and have the crew show how little they really cared about data's rights as they walk by and he asks for help through the walls.
You know Star Trek The Next Generation is still the best idea of what the future can be that has come out on TV or in movies. People with Morals, Ethics and a purpose to do go out there. Not the Military Industrial Complex's idea to create war and profit. If the future was half a good as Next Gen then we have something to look forward to.
Problem is, in the ST universe, humanity has grown beyond greed. I don't think this trait will ever be bred out of humanity. Greed is the motivator for the MIC and the most base reason for all wars.
In Star Trek they have replicators to make anything from energy, I can see why ST humans are less greedy. So if tech is always improving, then the potential is there irl.
+Imaanyi young? In 1994 he was already 45 years old (born 1949). Older than me today, an still 2 months older than my father. But the video quality is so bad that you can't see his white hairs very good. But ok, compared to today he was young, true. ^^ But who thought, that this Data that we seen in the first TNG Episode is already 38 years old? I thought he is max. around 30.
45 IS young! And 1994 was 22 years ago, a time where babies become grown ups. So yes, I know what I'm talking about when I say he was young. My father is already 77 and still knows how to have fun like a child. Same with my brother and me, and we're both in our late 30's. So my definition about age probably is a bit different to yours. If you want to declare yourself as "old", it's your good right. For me, calling people "old" starts at maybe 65 to 70. And Brent Spiner looked a lot younger than he actually was, indeed. =)
Yeah, we have a different definition about age, my definition is more in form of the lifespan, not the age of the mind itself. When I watch for example younger interviews with Patrick Stewart, than he is younger in his mind than myself, but in his lifespan he is (sadly) "very" old. *sadly because he is my favorite Actor and my "the one people in your life that you want to meet and talk with".
Imaanyi -- I remember 1994 so well. It was a helluva year, wasn't it? Life was so much simpler then, too. I truly miss it. Join me, and we will go back to that magical time together!
I can't believe it has been 7 years since 2004 and that was a decade after this... First Contact and even Generations seem like they were in theaters only yesterday. Brent looks so young.
i notice all these awkward questions that she is asking Brent, and stating that he isn't a sci-fi fan and the last cast member to sign on to the movie. are they trying to destroy his chances after only just leaving star trek, why is she trying to make it as uncomfortable as possible, shows how great Brent is, remained cool as a cucumber and answered honestly for each stupid question, todays actors would have walked out on those
Spiner is such a troll of the comedic type. Being a coworker of his must have been great. I’d be like ugh is he gonna get me today or is it gonna be someone else? I bet he played practical jokes often, but as a guy who plays a character who doesn’t understand humour he probably understands humour better than anyone else in the cast. Watching the bloopers of TNG I wonder how they got any work done.
I love his eyes and his hair. He is so beautiful and so attractive, it makes my whole body tremble. Too bad the quality of the video isn't that great.:(
That lady must have watched All Good Things & got his rank wrong because Data was never a Lieutenant! He was a Lieutenant Commander. The glitch in All Good Things was he was wearing a Lt uniform in the flashback scenes to Farpoint.
This must be the cutest interview I've ever seen of Brent:) Look at the way he smiles all the time; with a twinkle in his eyes. I love his hair; is there a touch of gray? Or does it appear to be gray? It looks very distinguished anyway. He sure is handsome and very sexy:D
He is sexy, even when he's trying to answer the questions that they're not giving him enough time to answer! Even through all that he still remains hot! He is still my favorite actor! ❤ WE LOVE YOU BRENT SPINER!!💋❤
Why is everyone criticizing the interviewer? She gave a fine interview. She wasn't cutting him off at all, Mr Spiner clearly wasn't too talkative that particular morning and only gave brief answers. She was just keeping the interview moving forward, especially as they only had 3 minutes to cover a range of topics. As for her tough questions, I like tough questions.
Imagine getting 8, 9 or 10+ seasons of TNG... just the mere thought gives me goosebumps. It could have gone on for a long time... even Voyager got 7 seasons.. I think they should never have made Voyager and used their resources and ideas on TNG instead.. as for Deep Space Nine it was a better than Voyager, but I could never really get into it and I think they should have used the best stuff and ideas from that show and continued TNG instead.
Yeah, sadly I think you're right. Unfortunately I think television is changing in such a way that shows like Star Trek and a lot of TV from the 80's and 90's wouldn't get made now cause it wouldn't get enough of an audience. Entertainment seems to be in a bit of a transitional period where no one medium is dominant and the old ways I grew up with are going out of fashion. Who knows what's going to be the big thing in 10 / 20 years time.
@Googlagahummike I was born the YEAR TNG came out so for me it was.... 1994, Brent Spiner, age 45 and brilliant actor. 1994, me, age 7, absolutely in love with Commander Data and watching the first reruns of the show. But still just a little too young. I could have stood to be born a generation earlier. xD
I can never work out why they didn't do more TNG movies. Only three seems like selling it short but maybe the demand wasn't there so much as it was for the Star Trek TOS cast? They certainly never took DS9 or Voyager to the big screen though Jayneway made a cameo appearance in First Contact or Insurection, I forget which
This is the most sedate I've ever seen Brent. He's a very talented actor. I never liked the Data make-up - the yellow eyes and silver shiny tin man make-up, though I get they wanted to create a distinct look.
DSN had a more "homely" attitude, a mix of a soap opera and Star Trek but with all the good soap opera bits (continuity, interesting recurring characters, evolving friendships, etc.). TNG became better and better as the series went on and yeah, Voyager paled badly in comparison and 7 of 9 was probably the only reason why it wasn't shut down.
My left ear enjoyed this video.
My left testicular appendage performed in an acceptable manner during this video
I only ever listen to videos with my left earphone so it sounded normal to me.
hahahhaa me too
The right side of my brain noticed
I love how the first 75 seconds of this is just the show announcing him in various ways
Make that 140.

Thanks.
thank you Buddy
You don't trick me. Lore
LOL
he's slick
lol haha XD
Lore pretending to be Brent Spiner ... nice try.
Or is it... Soong? Noonian?
Cold Equations ftw. Great trilogy.
he makes my heart pound
He makes the left side of the heart pound
In this interview, he reminds me so much of his character "Lore". So much like "Data", just sassier. Lol

If the future IS half as good. “Was” means it already happened.
My left ear really enjoyed this.
Good ol' 90's.
Life was simpler and easier back then.
@@rake483 Perhaps in some ways. Every generation has their eases and difficulties.
Will she ever let him answer? You can see there was so much more he wanted to say but the morning tv show format wouldn't allow it.
Nermin Kekic, I can't stand ths British accent, it sounds phony.
He was so young...and a good looking man as well. Just that interview was rubbish. Poor Mr. Spiner. ^^
+Imaanyi young? In 1994 he was already 45 years old (born 1949). Older than me today, an still 2 months older than my father. But the video quality is so bad that you can't see his white hairs very good. But ok, compared to today he was young, true. ^^

You looked so young and good looking as well I can see.
Man, Good morning America was terrible at giving interviews back then.
+jdestef
Lucky us we have Fox news, today!
Oh, wait...
They still are
At least the hosts were heterosexual.
I can't believe it has been 7 years since 2004 and that was a decade after this... First Contact and even Generations seem like they were in theaters only yesterday. Brent looks so young.
You posted this 11 years ago.

What an amazingly in-depth interview. I really learned so much!

I couldn't tolerate the American morning TV long enough to see Brent
My left ear enjoyed this
I love his eyes and his hair. He is so beautiful and so attractive, it makes my whole body tremble.
Too bad the quality of the video isn't that great.:(
Relax. He ain't all that.
A man of many talents!
such a watse brent spinner is exceptional and completely wasted with what they give him. Hes a classical actor with exceptional talent
thanks
my left ear loved this
It's so nostalgic seeing old 90s style intro graphics.
omg he must have loved that setting with the flowers
wow the times have changed....
Wow, time moves quickly.
I wouldn't be able to bite my tongue as well if a woman relegated my acting career to gold powder on live television.
I'd recognise his smile anywhere though.
I remember the last episode like it was yesterday. =(
OPEN SESAMEEEE
I can't wait to watch that movie. o 3 o
I don't remember 1994 looking so much like shit...
The TNG episodes look so ultra modern compared to the tv appearances from the cast from the same time.
ya same here, I remember me looking like shit, but I thought TV looked cool,
It called VHS tapes.
That lady must have watched All Good Things & got his rank wrong because Data was never a Lieutenant! He was a Lieutenant Commander. The glitch in All Good Things was he was wearing a Lt uniform in the flashback scenes to Farpoint.
Scenes of Farpoint. She probably just though she could abbreviate it without knowing that makes it a completely different rank.
I met him in person at San Antonio Comic-Con 2011! 8D
This must be the cutest interview I've ever seen of Brent:) Look at the way he smiles all the time; with a twinkle in his eyes.

WE LOVE YOU BRENT SPINER!!💋❤
Good looking fellow in reality
Humor! I love it! 😂
My God! ... He looks just like Data!!
Neil Vance, well, what did you expect?
He sounds just like data too!

These are not tough questions; they are stupid questions! The whole thing is cringe-worthy.
negative, awkward, uncomfortable questions, after a depressing introduction, for sure. Brent handled it with such class, he's a real pro :)
let the man talk!
This guy was phenomenal in 'Dude, where's my car?'
check the youtube volume sometimes that goes down
The sound isnt working on this video but it does for all other CZcams vids. What's up?
A week from this Wednesday it will be Wednesday the 16th!
Love his "Fresh Hell" series here on you tube!
What I loved about generations was that both new and old were in same film. I just wished they hadn't killed kirk off tho

Best Science fiction tv show of all time, but I do like Voyager, ds9, Enterprise, and Discovery..of course the Original series, but TNG the best
God she was obnoxious but he was lovely as usual. And goodness gracious he looks SO handsome 😳😍💕
I like the way La Forge looks
She misses the profile joke. Brent Spiner looks great here. What a cute sexy man! What a smile!
Wow, he's so sweet in here. OMG, get those white socks!

Oh god.....he looks juste like Lore when he smiles....
36 and half past the hour? What a strange way to relate to the time
Sorry, I meant 5 ST:TFF The one Shatner directed.
Duh, it's almost 20 years later lol
Geez that was sanitized.
@Googlagahummike I was born the YEAR TNG came out so for me it was....
1994, Brent Spiner, age 45 and brilliant actor.
1994, me, age 7, absolutely in love with Commander Data and watching the first reruns of the show.
But still just a little too young. I could have stood to be born a generation earlier. xD
interview starts at 2:20
Brent Spiner sounds like Patrick Batement from American Psycho.
I have a horrible crush on brent spiner
1:19 there I just saved you one minute of your life you'll never get back.
What was the Incident?
Heh-heh! I hear that!
actually he also played well later in "Star Trek: Generations" when he played the mad creator of transgenic human
@creaturanoctis you said it all girl...*snap-snap* Adorable...huggily adorable.
the past is entertaining
Is the sound track damaged? Or is it just me?
+jmacleve
It's just you
its a vhs recording..of course the sounds got background static
@MrClone501st and thursday will be november 17th, also like 1994!
Picard and Riker were cool, but Worf and Data were KOOL !!!!!!???
He isn't old and bitter he just is a bit more witty
I can never work out why they didn't do more TNG movies. Only three seems like selling it short but maybe the demand wasn't there so much as it was for the Star Trek TOS cast? They certainly never took DS9 or Voyager to the big screen though Jayneway made a cameo appearance in First Contact or Insurection, I forget which
@vintagevideogamegeek Yeah I kno RIGHT? The Lens of Time and all...
She didn't get most of his jokes. This was hilarious.
@Vulcans101 I thought he died to protect the Enterprise from that super radioactive green mist.
I was hoping to see "The Incident"...
Nemesis, There's going to be a Star Trek:Renegades coming in 2014, and guess who's coming back? Pavel Checkov!
Who Walter Coenig or Anton Yelchin?
which was?
This is the most sedate I've ever seen Brent. He's a very talented actor. I never liked the Data make-up - the yellow eyes and silver shiny tin man make-up, though I get they wanted to create a distinct look.
Am I the only one who sees Patrick Bateman in Brent Spiner?
Denise Crosby thought she was going to become a star in her own right. Problem is, it helps if you can act.
He was/is a good looking guy. No homo.
holy crap 2:18
Awwww you got mad.So cute.Are you gonna cry , do you wish me to call you mommy , she is here.In my BED.
Definitly! One still can watch NG and still credible, actually is more credible than deep space nine
I mean... "you know" is so 20th century! I mean, I mean it! Sic transit Data ....
Oh god, I'm glad I didn't see that. Love Brent and TNG, but I can't handle a polarity reversal before I've had my redbull.
LORE?!
The Incident that caused Brent Spiner's career to get flushed down the toilet of course!
Brent Spiner seemed a little tired of the whole press junket thing...must have been the last leg.
If Data had his emotion chip plugged in while watching Generations, I know what he'd say, "I HATE THIS!"
DSN had a more "homely" attitude, a mix of a soap opera and Star Trek but with all the good soap opera bits (continuity, interesting recurring characters, evolving friendships, etc.). TNG became better and better as the series went on and yeah, Voyager paled badly in comparison and 7 of 9 was probably the only reason why it wasn't shut down.
Interviewer doesn't seem to know who Data is
Yeah and they didn't have to kill Data. Even if they didn't make those movies he still shouldn't have died.
