Brent Spiner talks about "The Most Toys" episode of TNG 

did you having fjord ofer thats?

Wow It’s legendary

Wow! Brent really mucked up here. Firstly his name was DAVID not Michael; and secondly, he didn't kill himself that weekend!!! I'm actually quite suprised that Brent would muck these facts up. Pretty disrepsectful. RIP DAVID Rappenport.

​@@petermalkovic8635 I don't know much about David Rappaport and only learned about him very recently as I've been rewatching some Star Trek. It doesn't seem Brent was well acquainted with David the way he's telling the story, it seems they met on set. If that's the case he only would have know him the 2 days they worked together. Yea it's a shame he's making mistakes but this occurred almost 30 years before this interview and he's attempting to recollect on a colleague he only knew for 2 days. It was a failed suicide attempt over that weekend by David causing the recasting of Fajo. David would then die by suicide a few days later. Unfortunate mistakes yes they certainly are, but I don't think Brent is being malicious or intentionally getting his facts wrong.

bs

*Brent

@@kellyweingart3692 wow what great input kelly

Spiner has a very caustic dark humor, which I share, it's definitely off-putting to people as I can attest to.

Narcissists seldom remember the "details".

Michael Rappaport is dead...........no he isn't. oops

Actually Brent didn't even name Michael Rappaport. Brent could not recall the name and the other guy came up with Michael Rapaport and it rung a bell with Brent who went with it. Seriously, it's a minor mental error about someone he worked with briefly 30 years ago.

@@tessdurberville711 Really? Tell me exactly where you were and what you were doing 6/11/2010 at ten in the morning. Unless someone you know really deeply was dying, there was a birth, a birthday, you got fired, you bought a house, you got married... Unless there is a big touch stone the likelihood is you don't remember that specific day at all. The further back you go, the more true that becomes true, until you hit childhood, where memories are often the strongest. Brent Spiner worked with a guest actor for two days back 30 some odd years ago. He worked with a lot of guest actors for a couple days for seven seasons of TV. WHY would he remember the details of that one in particular anymore than any other ones?

@@tessdurberville711 like you could remember someone the details about someone you met for 2 days like 30 years ago, right

TV writers exhibit a disappointing conflation regarding what constitutes murder. Killing Fajo would have been homicide, certainly, but not murder.

I firmly believe that he did not in fact shoot, because it would have been ignoring his programming for rage, since he could keep the guy in check, AND he would have lied to his friend and commanding officer, since he said "maybe something occurred during transport". So either data is a homicidal rogue android betraying his friends, or he didn't actually shoot the gun.

@@nemo-x data couldnt ''keep the guy in check'' because the guy wore a belt with a force field around him so the android could not touch him. data is allowed to use lethal force to protect him and others.

@@GotoMaki4Micah He could keep the guy in check with the gun. Disintegrate his shoe or something. Data has always been incredibly forthcoming about any internal issues, and especially some where they could endanger his friends, and keeping the fact that he intended to kill someone a secret would have been completely against his characterization.

Truly - and the ending was awesome!

A shame

Well the dude that I assume was hosting it said the wrong name. Brent didn’t remember

Holy cow. That episode hurts the feels.

well it makes you sad because hes portrayed as a jerk who is willing to do anything to get the shot. So you feel like hes going to do a bad job as he doesn't understand but then you see the video and you have to take a step back from your preconceived notions. Then the realization that you been wrong about some one, at least to a good person, makes them feel horrible.

Snail's version was to flamboyant.... it sucked.......

Jack Of All Trades 😂 I don’t see why he would be eccentric he only is trying to collect all the most unique items in the universe sounds like a well balanced totally hinged non flamboyant villain to me.

Streamed Consciousnes LOL my thoughts exactly.

Where can you see those?

Yes, hard to find him when googling for Michael Rappaport. Found him over Time Bandits then.

Michael Rapaport is a completely different actor..who like Saul Rubinek..was also in True Romance

@@muppetoverlord2013 what a hilarious set of circumstances

??? WHAT ??

He’s dead so it doesn’t matter.

Those actors couldn't be more different

My words exactly.

I would love to see Michael Rapaport play those roles lol

@@RockSleeper Look here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hcN4upJ3FQ4.html

That makes sense - according to Google Michael Rappaport is still living.

That's interesting...which behind the scenes book did you get that from?

Lenny Ernquist I don’t remember. It was a gift and lost it during a move. It has the first 4 captains on the cover as it was published during VOYAGER.

Lenny Ernquist I looked it up it’s called CAPTAINS LOGS by GROSS AND ALTMAN

@@mem1701movies oh yes! I own that book. I have it somewhere around my house lol thanks for the reply.

@@mem1701movies Ah hell, I remember someone I know had that book, well they were actually a friend of a woman I was dating. I asked could I borrow it and they said I could have it, they said it was an unwanted gift or something, anyway I stayed for a while (my girlfriend and I were visiting them) and when I left I forgot the damn book. Never saw them or the book again. Thanks for reminding me, I will try find a copy, peace from Ireland mo chara...

I am truly enjoying this Rappaport rapport.

I'm rappaporting you for that insensitive joke.

@@amazinmets8439 Don't get brent out of shape over this.

I'm rapaporting the whole rapaport report rapport.

you're talking like this is Brent spiners channel..........I wasn't thinking David Rappaport I wasn't thinking any Rappaport, that was spiner...

Just watched it on Netflix and came here to be debriefed afterwards. Been watching TNG for 25 years but somehow never saw that episode. Quite an episode. Would have liked a part 2

It's my favorite Trek episode ever!

Yet it got bad reviews - don’t know why, I really enjoyed it. Plenty of chilling suspenseful moments and Brent Spiner and Saul Rubinek were great adversaries

The clips are on RU-vid.

almost too good for star trek, he was the most evil villain they had.

David Stephen Rappaport.

Nitpicking nerd has the the video clips (with Rappaport and the other guy) on his channel

His name was David, not Michael

Is this English?

Not the best joke to do in front of an audience lmao

I'm not sure that's really a joke...maybe its wrapped in Spiner's trademark lack of seriousness but imagine you're working with someone and they kill themselves...even if its not your fault at all that's traumatic.

SyFy will never let any show last more than five seasons because they would have to renegotiate everyones' contracts.

Very crass post. David was a great actor and was giving a creepy performance for a creepy part. You can't "see" it. Certainly his coworkers didn't. He was a professional till the end

STFU.....Saul did an excellent job in the episode you moron...

@@Anth230 No

@@tacituskilgore9803 yes STFU or go watch the actual episode you freaking moron...

@@thecaptain6845 strange that he remembered all the other names, even the character's

@@jaydawg7 Who the fuck cares except sensitive morons....🙄🙄🙄

you're not talking to brent spiner....so who are you talking to? people like me who already know -_- eh?

just curious, do you guys think you are talking to the people in the video? We know who it was, you don't need to tell us, you need to tell brent spiner and he is just not here....seriously? I hate it cause I can't tell when someone is 5, mentally slow or just plane stupid. So I have to assume all 3

Yeah, RAPPENPORT. Get off your high horse, everybody makes mistakes

Its a great episode

Congrats on your dumb, obnoxious, wrong opinion.

He's supposed to be insufferable...but that doesn't mean anyone has to like it. Kinda like Hayden in Star Wars...

Mmmm.... I even preserved the original bubble gum scent...

Straight talk. What does that mean? “Here’s my opinion?” It was one of the best episodes I can remember.
