Hi Hope -
Oh, pay no mind to a certain element around here. They're just pissed
at Brent because they swear he's gay and he won't come out of the closet
just to please them!
I've actually met Brent a few times, and let me just say that ivy is
creepier than he is. He's actually very unassuming and modest. Quite
cute too. :-)
As well as being in ID4, he also has a small role in Phenomenon.
And I've always thought that he'd be great as Willy Wonka if they ever
remake it...

In Phenomenon w/ Travolta? Could this mean Brent is a $scientologist?
And...we all know what that would entail if he was (re: gayness).

That's why they call it *acting*!!!!!
(I.e., people pretend to be what they aren't)
More like "Willy Wonka" on an acid trip!!
A "Willy Wonka" sequel could be made pretty interesting. We could have
Wes Craven and Toby Hooper in charge of it. Lots of strange and eerie
FX and dementia. Make it into a movie definitely NOT for children.
Naw, I guess that would be too weird.

How much more new & sick could Willy Wonka get?!?!?

Scientology isn't exactly noted for being a religion into which its
members are born. I'm hoping that some of the $cieno-watchers and former
members turned vigilant observers can back me up on this, but it's always
been my sense that while the "Church" does take a very hands-on, if
incredibly shoddy, approach to making sure that the children of its
members grow up in a $cieno-supportive environment, the Church's main
concern is in recruiting adult members.
Children, after all, aren't known for having disposable incomes that they
can relinquish upon proper brainwashing.

First of all, to my knowledge Brent is not a sci., unless he just
recently started. I do know that the Co$ actively works to recruit
celebrities. It has been said that an endorsement by a celebrity for
scientology is like a million dollars worth of advertising for free.
But again, I don't think they've gotten to Brent. Any one out there
have any FACTS?

Public is Co$'s main target. They have many times stated that their goal
is to "Clear the Planet!" (and fill their coffers with big $$)

Yeah, I got one. The orginal post (I hope my attribution of it to
pHd is correct, because the attributions on DBJ's post were kind
of messed up) was a JOKE. A PUT-ON. A SATIRE.

For whatever it might be worth, the reason Brent went to the Baptist
College was that our drama teacher, Cecil Pickett (father of actress
Cindy) moved there from the high school where he taught Brent. A
number of actors/actresses from Bellaire High School as well as other
Houston area schoole went over there, more a testimony to Mr.
Pickett's teaching abilities and skill than any religious experience.

Um...Cecil moved to the University of Houston. He was there for
many years before he retired from that school. Many of my friends went
there and were his students. As were other people who I didn't know know
(i.e. the Quaids)
Dannie
Get the facts straight. Picket WAS at Houston Baptist for a very
short time before moving on to U of H. It was a question of timing
that took Brent over there. And yes, Randy and I were in the same
drama class. Brent was a year older and was in the advanced drama
class the year before I was.
:<very interesting piece about Brent and his drama teacher SNIPPED>
:So, Brian, were you a classmate of Brent's? Can you answer the
:intriguing question of his sexuality??
:
I doubt if Brian can, and neither can I, BUT.....
There's a photo of Brent Spiner and Loree McBride in the current issue of
Globe in the "Squeezeplay" section. Also, Terry Ferrell, who plays Dax on
Deep Space Nine, confirmed in an interview quite some time ago that she
once had an affair with Brent.
Dixie, who doesn't know why a gay man would want either Loree McBride or
Terry Ferrell.
I have my facts str8 as I got them FROM BRENT!!!!!! He is telling his
fans that he went to U of H to study under cecil. Maybe one of you needs to
take your alzheimers meds. I can't be responsibe for what has come
directly OUT OF BRENT"S MOUTH. I believe that the original post also said
something bout him not attending HBU for religious reason....did Cecil
ever teach at Trinity in San Antonio? I ask because Brent was also there
for a few semesters. Again he has told many people this. If you feel that
it is untrue....email HIM. He went to three colleges....HBU, UofH, and
Trinity. Two of them are known for being...of a relgious nature.
Dannie
Thank you, I just had to get that off my chest.
-Barb
Can't imagine Terry Farrell wanting Spiner under any circumstances.

You'll be pleased to know that last night David letterman, while listing all the
actors from ID4 who have appeared on the Late Show, stumbled over Spiner's name
and eventually settled on something like "Bill Spiner."
So you think Jet is actually Brent Spiner???

Brent Spiner, I assume!

parts, Data and his evil twin. The word painful does not begin to
describe...)
Well, I asked, and you answered ;^) You a.s.g.'ers are too quick for
me.
I guess I should have more properly phrased it, "What productions has
Loree McBride been in?" See, slowly but surely I learn!!

Now, because I have way to much time on my hands here at Huge, I looked up
this person's profile, and he does indeed exist. Not that it means
anything...

Of course, this was not the first episode, but the fourth. Ok, I'm a
Trekker, I admit it...
: Thank you, I just had to get that off my chest.
*sheepish look* I'm not Brent Spiner. But a few years back, a number
of 12 year old kids really really thought I was. They said I sounded
like him, whatever that means [it was on a Trek group]. It took forever
to stop them from hounding me!
But I swear I'm NOT him!

Ummm, that the "deal" is not with BS, but his fanatic followers.
He is a nice inoffensive, fey, actor, who attracts the *oddest*
fans. Some of them even post on aol!

She isn't an actress (although I have a friend who *insists* that she
was an extra on TNG). She was a publicist for Paramount, then she became
a freelance publicist, with Brent and Gates McFadden for clients. I don't
know if she's still a publicist for Gates or if she's still on Brent's
payroll. If she is, then she isn't doing much for him career-wise... ;-)

Your assessment would appear to be correct. When I interviewed her
earlier this year, she said the cast didn't pal around much outside
work. I believe (but need to check my notes) that she is engaged.
FWIW, Mr Spinner, while quiet and nice, *did* set off my gaydar(tm)
BIGtime, and, No, he didn't leer at my chest.
-=JR=-
She did go out with Brent for a few months while TNG was filming. That is
pretty well known.

Who discovered that the only drawback
to losing a lot of weight was losing her 40DD in-your-face boobs as
well....
Really? The lady sure didn't seem like the beard type.
The rumor was that Spiner was more interested in Ferrel and she later
regreted not being "mature enough" to appreciate him!
