The guy who played Data

Whatever happened to Brent Spiner:



Fresh Hell is one of those web series that are popping up nowadays, and having just watched a couple of episodes, we can report that this is goofy, funny stuff. Whether or not the web is the source of all of tomorrow's entertainment, as some would suggest, remains to be seen, but there's good material out there beyond just clips. Vice.com (there's a URL for you) interviewed Spinter recently:

The part and the show was a gift and I am eternally grateful. I’m delighted that other people have opinions and affection for the character. The only thing that bothers me—and it happens all the time—is when people see me and shout, “DATA! DATA”! I’m fine with people recognizing me. I just wish they shouted, “Guy who played Data”!

Check out Off Hollywood - Brent Spiner, and follow his show, Fresh Hell.
