The Big Bang Theory: Brent Spiner at Wil Wheaton's Party

Brent Spiner shows up at Wil Wheaton's party in Big Bang Theory

[@c.w.simpsonproductions1230]

Considering Brent Spiner usually costs $50 at conventions, that's one hell of a deal.

[@CassandraHouse]

It’s $60 now and $80 to get something that you bring signed

[@c.w.simpsonproductions1230]

@@CassandraHouse Yeah, I miss the pre-pandemic days. Convention prices have skyrocketed across the board the past few years. Remember when anime voice actors were free?

[@CassandraHouse]

@@c.w.simpsonproductions1230 I actually didn’t start doing conventions till after the pandemic because of money reasons. Lol I was just so happy the first time I met Brent Spiner I didn’t really care about price. $70 for a photo op is a bit steep considering what you get

[@ianmccown]

@@CassandraHouse It’s their living of course. I am surprised about the Star Trek ones though! Picard season 3 was extremely successful, and recent! Aka a lot of money for Brent Spiner, but then again, part of the money goes to the people holding the event, assistants to the actors, along other things! God knows if I did conventions, I would want to make money too!

[@zekepliskin6398]

Brent's line is EXACTLY what he's like, every TNG cast member remembers him as a loveable goof always trying to make people laugh. In this scene, mission accomplished sir. Mission accomplished.

[@RJSRdg]

@@zekepliskin6398 Yes, there's a brilliant outtake where Patrick Stewart accidentally refers to Data as an Admiral. Without breaking character, Brent replied "Captain. I do not believe you have the authority to promote me to the rank of Admiral." Stewart does a double take, then everyone in the scene corpses one by one.

[@the5thmusketeer215]

The length of the pause before Brent Spiner agrees the price & shakes hands… is absolutely perfect. 😂👍

Before Star Trek, Spiner was in a couple of episodes of the original Night Court. He was hilarious...

Brent Spiner is such a class act. It would have been so easy for him to have milked this brief cameo and mugged the camera, but because he's an impeccable actor he understands that the role is funnier when it's played more straight and subtle.

There's a tear in my eye after watching this clip, reminding me of all the fun I had watching this show, and knowing it's coming to an end. I identified with 1/3 of this show so much with my own life, and the guest stars often were childhood favorites of mine. So seeing them make guest appearances on one of my favorite shows like TBBT was like one of my old tv friend/hero now hanging out with my current. I'll miss this show and it's characters and the actors who played each very much.

[@c.barrett5114]

One of my favorite Characters on Star Trek, right behind Data, was Wesley Crusher, I wish they had brought him back for Picard.

[@brianr101010]

I love the negotiation at the end of this. Spiner has such a great sense of humor about himself. I once met the actor who portrayed Q ( I used to take the trouble to remember his name til he acted like a bully and made me look stupid ) at a mini convention Q and A session where in defference to his proudly stating that Star Trek was stupid and he was only an actor and not a fan I tried to ask him if as an actor he had ever tried to influence his Q characters part by making script suggestions or trying to participate in writing or directing process for the character he so skillfully brought to life for the fandom only to be berrated by him as not having listened to him and his not being a fan. I will always regret wasting my time and effort attending a pathetic local mini-con with "Q"as the guest in stead of trying to travel and attend a Brent Spiner Con.

[@blackjac5000]

I saw John de Lancie at a convention, too, and he said that always figured each time he played Q, including the first time, would be the last time.

IDK about that, Spiner's also had success with Indepence Day, Phenomenon, and The Aviator, plus his recurring roles on different tv shows, I'd say he's done preety well for himself, maybe not to the same level as Patrick Stewart, but definately more so than Jonathon Frakes and Marina Sirtis. I'd say he, Michael Dorn, and LeVarr Burton have had about equal levels of success outside of Star Trek.

He was on a...Sy...fy...(?) original show called Alphas as a one off antagonist.
