It'd be great if somebody could put one in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.198.133.78 (talk) 17:40, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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