Brent Spiner

Join us for a truly out of this world "Naked Lunch" conversation with the multi-talented actor, singer & author Brent Spiner, best known around the world for his brilliant performance as the android Data on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and in other "Star Trek" films and series as well as playing Dr. Brackish Okun in the "Independence Day" films. But Phil and Brent are longtime friends, and this wide-ranging lunch held at the sadly just-closed Malibu Kitchen covers galaxies of territory, from Brent's work experiences with icons like Walter Matthau, Stephen Sondheim and Martin Scorsese, as well as a wild story of being stalked that inspired Brent's 2021 book, "Fan Fiction: A Mem-Noir: Inspired by True Events." On a far more pleasant note, David has lots of questions about Brent's impressive musical life, including "Dreamland," Brent's fantastic 2008 concept album with the extraordinary vocalist Maude Maggart featuring great voice acting work by Mark Hamill.
