News about Brent Spiner

Sir Patrick Stewart reunited with his longtime Star Trek co-star Brent Spiner for dinner in Los Angeles on Monday night. Joining the 83-year-old Yorkshireman and the 75-year-old Texan was their other longtime co-star Jonathan Frakes, who also directs multiple Star Trek TV series.

In Ireland, a Star Trek episode referring to an 'Irish unification in 2024' is still outlawed. In 1990, episode 12 of series three, titled The High Ground, was released, and a terrorist group is able to recruit a crew member of the Federation Starfleet Starship US Enterprise-D hostage in order to advance their goals. However, Brent Spiner's 'Irish unification in 2024' as an example of a political goal achieved by violence, an episode that has only been seen in Ireland in the 34 years since its introduction. So much was the fear over the line's potential ramifications that the episode, which was first broadcast in the United States, was not shown on the BBC or Ireland's RTV networks.

During 'Star Trek: The Next Generation's first season in 1987, Patrick Stewart made quite a scene behind the scenes. In his latest biography, Making It So: A Memoir, the legendary British actor, 83, explained why he clashed with his cast members and'stormed off' the set of the beloved sci-fi series. According to excerpts from the Hollywood Reporter, Stewart, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard, felt that costars such as Jonathan Frakes, Denise Crosby, and Brent Spiner weren't taking their jobs seriously enough.
