Mar 22, 2010 · First, let me say that Sisko as played by Brooks is an infinitely more interesting character than Archer as played by the miscast Scott Bakula (a good actor stymied by his miscasting). But Brooks is so odd as Sisko. I am rewatching the series (as a non-fan who wants to give the series another chance), and am at early season 3.

Mar 7, 2014 · The talk around Ben Sisko--that he was weak and that his Spencer for Hire character was a better one, I think got to Mr. Brooks. Just a guess, but he didn't start out as a ham. He didn't end as a ham. It was seasons 3-5 when he …

May 24, 2008 · When I've asked them why sometimes they give the lame "it's a space station so they don't go anywhere!" answer. But some of them, who actually gave the show a chance, say it's because Avery Brooks is a terrible actor and they can't stand to watch them. I DISAGREE THAT BROOKS IS A TERRIBLE ACTOR, however, I can see why others could think that.

Feb 2, 2014 · I have seen DS9 in it's entirety but wanted to get a feel of what other Niners think. Good actors abound on this show with Shimmerman, Robinson, Alaimo, Aberjunois (I know I misspelled it), etc. Kai Winn too. It's my favorite show but not my favorite captain. It always seemed to me like he...

Oct 13, 2008 · I love the DS9 cast and I even like the character of Sisko, but as an actor Avery was definitely the weakest link. There are many abrupt mood shifts in his line delivery and in some episodes there was some serious over-acting going on. Whats your take?

Mar 9, 2009 · Psst, Avery Brooks. Click to expand... Who, IIRC got paid less than Michael Dorn for DS9 seasons 4-7, not because of a difference in who was the lead, but of course because Dorn had been contracted as a Trek regular for longer.

Mar 21, 2019 · Brooks was probably the weakest actor overall out of the main cast, save for Terry Farrell. That said, he could put in a great performance (particularly when paired up with Lofton - the father/son dynamic always worked) and even though he could be hammy at times, he had the same kind of gravitas as an actor that Shatner and Stewart did, which meant he could …

Feb 8, 2017 · ^^ As I said before, everything in the pilot doesn't tie well together...but on the other hand, he was hit with a shitload to do in that show. Be Sisko three years ago. Lose your wife. Be a father, a commander, told you're some kind of Emmisary, discover the wormhole, talk to …

Jan 14, 2018 · I'm glad to hear that. I remember telling people after watching "The Captains" that Avery Brooks seemed to be a musician first and an actor second. I grew up knowing two people who seemed to operate on the level that Brooks was in the documentary. I said to one "you and John Doe really confuse me".
