What is that with his lips? Looks as if he had pumped silicone in there... Or what is that supposed to depict? -andy 92.229.90.53 (talk) 20:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

his tongue is sticking out a bit. Vinithehat (talk) 04:59, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Following discussion with editor Nightscream, I am substituting a fair-use image of Brent Spiner's signature character, without which a comprehensive understanding of the article is significantly diminished, in place of a redundant, second image of Spiner taken in the same year as the infobox image and showing highly identical appearance. --Tenebrae (talk) 23:15, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

The image inserted by Tenebrae was quickly removed by another editor, citing Wikipedia's Fair Use Policy as the reason. However, I have reviewed the WP: page, and it appears to me that the image IS allowed (see ¶ 2.1.3 Images, Item 5). Therefore I have re-inserted it in the Brent Spiner wikipage. I hope we can come to a consensus on this issue. Regards Raymondwinn (talk) 14:30, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Personal Life

The article says the following:

"...he was influenced by drama teacher Cecil Pickett—father and coach of actress Cindy Pickett and future actors Randy Quaid, Dennis Quaid, Trey Wilson, Robert Wuhl, and director Thomas Schlamme."

Was Cecil Pickett the father and coach of all those actors, or were they additional influences in high school? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Novanglusva (talk • contribs) 02:45, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

On the subject of his personal life, why is there no mention of his wife? Or is Gail right in her conspiracies? :O 121.211.56.55 (talk) 02:02, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Brent Spiner's website

His site is currently not available (therealbrentspiner.com). Should it be noted somewhere on the page? Will it be coming back soon? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.169.211 (talk) 04:31, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

The site is back up. If possible, I would suggest that this Talk section should be removed.

The site is fake. It was created by one of his stalkers. http://www.gabriellechana.com/trueblue7.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C1:C003:2760:0:0:0:3 (talk) 04:22, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Jewish?

(Nothing to do with stepfather Sol Mintz). A number of websites assert that mother Sylvia's surname was Schwartz and that both Schwartz and father Jack Spiner were from Jewish immigrant families. One example is IMDB, but I don't know if wikipedians count that as reputable. No mention of Brent Spinter in the Jewish Actors or Jewish Americans categories. tharsaile (talk) 19:42, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk before rollback

Dear Smuckola. Could you please explain this rollback instead of (ab)using the Edit summary? The image which I inserted is clearly better in terms of quality and appropriateness. This is my opinion, of course, and you have a different opinion, but what matters is the purpose. You have a different opinion that I respect, but the fact is: you are trying to impose your opinion using rollbacks, I am trying to improve the article. Your attitude is not collaborative at all, could we speak? Thanks. --Lucas (talk) 07:38, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Missing a film

Somehow, this article has managed to miss Spiner's role in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge with Halle Berry.

Controversial

Why does this talk page have a controversial template? I can't see anything controversial, either about the article itself or the talk page. I'm going to remove it if nobody produces significant arguments to the contrary in the next few weeks. --Ef80 (talk) 20:59, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

I've now found some incomprehensible talk page edits by deranged female fans in 2005. Is this the reason for the template? It was 16 years ago! --Ef80 (talk) 12:10, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

I have removed the template from the talk page. --Ef80 (talk) 16:07, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Adding a Source for the "Mem-Noir"

I've found a few articles which I think may serve as a good source regarding Spiner's book released last year. These include a Nerdist interview, a WaPo interview, a Wired article (which references his appearance in a podcast of theirs), and an NPR book review. It has been some time since I've made an edit, so I thought I should ask here to see which (if any) of these is a good source to cite. EvilMossman (talk) 12:47, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

To Tell The Truth? NOT!

Brent Spinner, as Brent Mintz, appeared on TO TELL THE TRUTH as a Coronet playing taxi driver. The video can be found on You Tube in the BillCullenNet channel. 208.125.160.250 (talk) 18:16, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Musician?

The article talks of his being a musician, but there's no mention of what he plays, or whether he's a singer. We see him playing violin in several STNG episodes—does he actually play the instrument? And is it his instrument in performances? Koro Neil (talk) 08:41, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
