Rick Berman, who produced Star Trek, was a big Night Court fan. So he knew who I was as soon as I walked in.
Brent Spiner[Fan In Lobby from Stardust Memories] that was just after The Dain Curse. My other big uncredited role from back then.
Brent SpinerThe kid in the episode [of Tales From The Darkside ] was played by Christian Slater! He was all of about 12 or so, but I've run into Christian many times since then, and he always does his line from Tales From The Darkside whenever he sees me.
Brent SpinerIt really was not that difficult a process, because I was playing [Data from Star Trek] something that doesn't exist. So it was really based on... Imagination was the key element in that, and whatever I could think of, I could do, because there was no precedent for it. It wasn't like someone was going to say, "Well, an android would never do that." They didn't know!
Brent SpinerHollywood has more than its share of harsh and crewel stories. In fact, it's probably more the norm than the exception.
Brent Spiner[Billy Bob Conroy role] that was a favor. Actually, the lady who cast Night Court asked me to do it, because it was a Friday, and the person who'd been rehearsing it all week got sick and couldn't come to the taping. And she figured I could put it together pretty quickly - it was not all that big a challenge, frankly - and I said, "Of course." I owed her, after all. Gilda Stratton was her name. She was a really, really nice person. So I did it.
