Brent Spiner

Interestingly, Brent Spiner was booked to appear as our very first Star Trek: The Next Generation guest way back in 1988. Unfortunately, due to a scheduling mishap, he was unable to come at that time and Patrick Stewart came in his sted. Since that time, Brent's been to Starfest twice - most recently in 1996. Thirteen years is way too long apart. We are very happy that he's consented to return to Denver and meet a whole new generation of fans.

Brent Spiner is best known for his portrayal of Data the android from STNG. Remarkably, his other TV, movie and stage work is just as impressive. His first genre role was an appearance in an episode of Tales from the Darkside as the Reverend Peabody. He went on to appear in The Twilight Zone, Sledge Hammer!, Night Court, Chronomaster (voice), Deadly Games, The Outer Limits, Gargoyles (voice), Phenomenon, and notibly as the headscientist in the feature film Independence Day. He also appeared in The Aviator and the short-lived but well-regarded TV seriesThreshold. In 2008 he appeared in the Superhero Movie as Dr. Strom and provided the voice of Coach Mackey in Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey, which will be released this year.

Although he feels his days of playing an android who never ages are behind him, Mr. Spiner is willing to lend his voice talents to various Trek projects and isn't adverse to playing interesting non-Data characters - which he did in the Star Trek series Enterprise.

He is currently appearing as Cervantes/Don Quixote in a production of Man of La Mancha in Los Angeles and has recently released an album of musical radio drama titled Dreamland with Maude Maggart and Mark Hamill.

Here's a great video of the making of that CD.

Mr. Spiner will be appearing at Starfest on Saturday, April 18, 2009.
