RCCC 2013: AVERY BROOKS

Avery Brooks is best known for his role as Commander/Captain/Admiral Benjamin Sisko in the sci-fi series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Hawk in the mystery series, Spenser: For Hire, the spinoff series, A Man Called Hawk, and as Dr. Robert Sweeney in American History X. Jesse Blaze Snider moderates while Avery answers all your questions.

[@HeavyMetalHeadMaster]

Avery Brooks commands the stage with demanding charisma and unparalleled gentlemenliness. His wisdom seems endless. That he has his back turned to the moderator is symbolic - this isn't a conversation; its the Avery Show and you must watch it. I could listen to and watch him speak for hours on end.

[@seaconfused]

So sad that he didn't play in more TV shows and movies or making another music CD. He's a briliant, beautiful, dynamic, cultured man. I could hear him speak and sing for ever!

[@SourRobo8364]

To be fair, he was also a professor. So maybe he was more interested in educating than being more famous.

[@seaconfused]

@@SourRobo8364 Oh definitely he was always more on teaching, music and theater (I still can't forgive my self that I miss he's apperance in Greece on a modern take of an ancien tradegy about 20 years ago. I'm so stupid). He never wanted to be longtimer on tv. It was a miracle that we had him on DS9! My "complaint" is because I live in the other side of the world and I never had (or ever will have) the luck to see more of his great talent. Adore him anyways thow :)

[@Que-xv6mb]

I’m convinced this man is a prophet and so many people don’t recognize it The lives he has lived has been infinite and yet he still lives on to receive more wisdom. He really did visit the Bajoran Wormhole… 🤯🤯🤯🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ThommyofThenn]

Alamoran if you can see

[@raphaelandrews3617]

Brooks, " the reason I am an here is because of all those who came before me, James Balwin called it the price of the ticket" Deep wisdom from the man who been there.

[@commiecomrade2644]

Once he starts speaking people are literally stunned into silence and are happy to sit in silence with him waiting to hear what he’ll say next.

[@joannfranklin7772]

I adore Avery Brooks 👑 Man,Actor, Director and Professor. I live in New Brunswick,NJ. Almost met him face to face was 15 minutes late.😩😢 I passed a Theater in DC were he was playing Othello. 😩 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 And without say Captain Sisko you can fly me to the moon and beyond. Respect 🥰

[@LindaEvansQueenofRadio]

Avery has always been fine for me. I still loved him when he played Hawk. Still watching in 2020.

[@annalexander8137]

Oh yeah! As one has said, He is intimidatingly handsome!!! I agree

[@BBFKTECH]

This man is always teaching

[@maribelru2011]

Which is incredibly obnoxious. Since he’s assuming a lesson is needed.

[@Maazzzo]

Such an inspiration, I wish I could just sit and listen to everything he says for hours.

[@malikkimanimaasai3703]

I know what you mean and I completely agree I met at a Harlem nite club called Showmans a real nice guy very personable and approachable not stand offish like actors of his stature could bee....My idol 🙂

[@Arashnotekno]

The Sisko has spoken.

[@royalewithbees6541]

God i wish they let him sing more often on DS9 than just that one (utterly fantastic) duet with Vic Fontaine

[@dee_lightful3965]

Well, he did that little diddy with Odo that time in his office. Lol. DS9 THE BEST TREK EVER!!!

[@TippiGordon]

What a beautiful soul. We are privileged to live in a time we can share with him.

[@SourRobo8364]

I would love for Avery to do some voice acting.

[@pferreira1983]

He ignored some legit questions but the man never stops teaching, as it should be. 👍

[@daisywilkerson8463]

Avery is a leader this interviewer is a chump this is witness of someone who can take charge and give a word of wisdom and intelligence even though he's around someone who's intimidated by him when someone is intimidated by you they can't exist they are useless❤️❤️

[@nate29]

8:40 gave me CHILLS

[@brianhughes701]

I always wanted to meet Avery. He is such a great actor and human being.

[@drummer3341]

This is great

[@GuldukatCardassia]

I love that he speaks to all of us with such charisma as if he's still the Emissary to the prophets

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

The Sisko has not aged at all... except for his beard turning white a little bit...

[@MirelleJanaWalter-yb7cz]

I like you so much, dear Avery.

[@SiggyMe]

Far beyond the stars was my favorite episode and just saw it for the first time. It allowed the actors to show themselves to us giving the essence of what StarTrek is about. 👍😎❤️

[@SiggyMe]

Avery is in command and is always including the audience in opening up insight conversation. So he stays with his mission to make the World a better place. He includes the idea of responsibility in his interviews and the idea we are connected even when we aren’t in the presence of each other we create each other. 👍😎❤️

"The Sisko is from Bajor"

[@balooga5689]

Leonardo Tavares the sisal is OF bajor

[@JerrythePope]

"Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between Deep Space 9 and the real world? "

[@havu2236]

He's more like Hawk than Sisko.

[@pferreira1983]

He probably gets paid to say that. 😁

[@kevinrogers8779]

Who told ya?!

[@ThommyofThenn]

You have to feel for the for the "interviewer." How do you keep up with someone who is on that level?

[@tausti]

My Captain!

[@mbfamilychannel3456]

Scary to interview him man, just don’t know what he’s going to say or do.

[@nickarbuckle885]

I remember him in uncle Tom cabin there one other deal he was in I can't remember what it was at the moment ill have to go check it out and I'll get back to you guys once I get my information

[@nickarbuckle885]

It was Solomon northup odyssey I saw him in

[@DinnerBells]

I would love to have Benny Russel's apartment.

[@yamoksauce]

Wow wow wow

[@atomicpressure5112]

[@ThommyofThenn]

34:31 are they talking about how the dude sounds almost exactly like Worf?

[@mark1891]

24:45 - Admiral?

[@mbfamilychannel3456]

DEEP DEEP TRUTHFUL MAN!!!

[@morbidsasquatch9640]

Does this guy ever age ?

[@FrancisSawyer]

I like him but he is really really out there.

[@Amberlynn_Reid]

You are not out there enough

[@ltfringr]

Avery doesn't mesh with the Trek nerds he's a jazz cat they don't get him

[@derekricks7873]

there is kind imagination and malevolent imagination

[@maribelru2011]

Lighten up dude!

[@jasonbellamy9759]

This moderator is awful! Dude. Shhhhhhhhhh

[@royalewithbees6541]

I legit had to wince everytime he spoke lolll Also everytime he spoke over Brooks, a vein in my temple bulged :'I

[@matthewtopping2061]

The Sisko...sounds like he got kinda permafried around 2005

[@weaksignal8009]

A deep philosopher is economic with his words. Eccentric, yes very. But it's incorrect to say his 'cheese had slid off the biscuit'

[@ThommyofThenn]

​@@weaksignal8009this. He has a unique approach to being a celebrity and has a hard time alternating between "professor" and "actor", but it's too easy to simply call him nuts

[@bruinsrulz]

Just curious. Did anyone ask any questions about Hawk? I loved that role of his but don't want to sit and watch an hour of Star Trek questions. No offense Trekkies.

[@saiyamanGXT]

@ 38:42

[@bruinsrulz]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@radamesgerenajr5741]

bruinsrulz probably the majority of the audience were not even born when hawk was on.

Did you know he was arrested for DUI in 2012?

[@kb72977]

And what exactly is the point of bringing this up ?

[@ZZombyWooff]

black this black that blah blah balaahh... Avery could not have AN FUCKING ONE INTERVIEW WITHOUT THE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS SAYING THAT "OH MY GOD I FEEL YOU UUH AAH SO YOU ARE A BLACK HAHA IN STAR TREK WOW JUST WOOU WEEE!!!!"
