Is this guy the worst actor to get a main character on a popular

I thought he was regal as fuck. DS9 is the most patrician Trek, so it's a perfect match.

>he talks so weirdly and acts so strange.

He is said to be legitimately crazy.

>>80028067
You mean he's literally mentally ill?

I'm pretty sure that he's one of those educated/elite black people that grew up on Harlem Renaissance poetry, Lorraine Hansberry plays and has a complete collection of John Coltrane and Nina Simone on vinyl.

So, you know black nationalism, daishikis, jazz, masters degrees in theatre, Malcom-X style islam-lite...


He's just not the sort of black man you're used to seeing on TV.

>>80028108
That's exactly how he speaks.

>>80027989
I agree. I thought his acting would get better after the first couple seasons but my gott ...

Regardless of what you think of the rest of the series this man is an over actor

>>80028217
So... exactly like the OG Star Trek captain: William Shatner?

>>80028153
this
>>80028079
also this
watch his interview with Shatner for the Captains movie

>>80028079

Yeah i mean Avery Brooks might be mentally ill. Google it, i don't remember where i read, but people were mentioning it in DS9 threads before.

>>80028153

He's a professor at Rutgers, yeah

nice meme

>>80028153

Yeah, this.

i really like his acting style, it was authoritarian and unique.

he was a terrible actor as proven by his career
of course on this board that judges actors on the basis of liking them or not instead of their ability he is a "good actor"

>>80028339

I like him a lot, what a cool guy.

Avery Brooks does crazy black guy and angry black guy (and crazy angry black guy). Early DS9 doesn't work so well for this but later on he gets to be his crazy angry self more often.

>>80028491

Career doesn't mean jack shit when it comes to acting ability. He earned enough dough to just retire and stick to stage acting/teaching. Not everyone is cut out to be a huge movie star, especially Avery Brooks who didn't do much PR for DS9.

>>80028153
In other words, mentally ill.

DS9 was the best star trek.

>>80028339
based

>>80028600
That first scene were he tells Picard off.
That scene when he blackmailed Quark into staying.
That scene where Kira talked shit the moment she met him and he picked one peice of trash metal up and tossed it aside hands out to tell her off.

All first episode scenes

Wasn't he a theather actor before DS9? It would explain his overacting, you have exaggerate when you're performing on a stage.

>>80028638
>it doesn't count because I am biased

there, at least just be honest not that I expect much from the likes of you

>>80028735
William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, and Avery Brooks all had strong backgrounds in theatre -- it used to be damn near a requirement to be a trek lead.


A lot of Star Trek is about taking somewhat thin dramatic material on a three-wall set and elevating it with strong acting.

>>80028838
A patrician post appears.

>>80028838
lol

>>80028838
Wish these newer productions understood that.

Odo, Quark and Dukat were the only good actors on DS9
I am not using their real names because otherwise most of you people wouldn't even understand who I was talking about

>>80028962
u Did not like weyoun?

When i was watching DS9 i went into the pilot high, and it blew my mind, it seemed so deep. Those transitions in different times.

the better question is wtf does he do all day

at least picard is reading books

sisko's office has a baseball. he sits there and holds it

What is this style of frames called? Michael Douglas in falling down had these farmes too. I want to get them for spring.

Avery Brooks is awesome, fucking Shatner kept interrupting him at every opportunity.

>>80029098
Ray-Ban Clubmasters.

They were in fashion first in the early to mid 60's and again about three or four years ago.


So after being in style twice over fifty years, it's safe to call them classics.

>>80029089

Ahaha, Carrey tears that shit to pieces as Shatner.

>>80028662
Would you rather have him act like a thuggish nigger?

>>80028662
There's nothing that irritates white trash than seeing a black man that is

>richer
>more cultured
>better educated
>more refined

than he is.


This man is *black* and he's less of a nigger than you are. What the fuck is your excuse?

>>80027989
Kirk and Picard both acted weird as well, Sisko was cast perfectly and you're an absolute pleb if you disagree

Kirk acting that way is a meme anyway

>>80029976
I AM CAPTAIN KIRK

Did Eddington do anything wrong?

>>80029347
>Kirk and Picard both acted weird as well

having an eglish accent isn't acting weird

>>80030013
He did everything wrong

>>80027989
Reminded me of Kirks staccato delivery. It definitely takes some getting used to.

Picard was probably the most human actor who sounded something like a real person.

Janeway has a weird accent. The way she squeezes words out from her pursed lips.

>>80028339
I haven't watched the documentary but is that all he got with Brooks?

Seems like he played along but would have like a more straightforward interview, rather than a madman replying in musical couplets.

>>80030096
I think it's funny how everyone shat on voyager for years but they'd still rather talk about Janeway/Mulgrew than Archer/Bakula

>>80030150
because picard lite isn't worth mentioning

>>80030140
Don't you understand, you plebian cracker?

Jazz is the most expressive language there is!

>>80029051
The baseball is just something for when he's lost in thought. You've never seen an executive with a stress ball or a newtons cradle in their office?

Sisko has a busy day overseeing operations on the station, maintaining diplomatic relations between all the major powers as well as being a father.

>>80030247
He was a shiftless, baseball-clutching layabout

>>80030150
Well yes, Archer was the weakest part of Enterprise, but overall it's still a much better show than Voyager.

>>80030169
Mr Pleb here, only seen two episodes of Enterprise but that's now what I got from Archer at all.

Seems to me from the outside like Paramount wanted Enterprise to have some common man appeal with Archer, after Star Trek got so hoity toity with it's speeches and diplomacy and everyone in the future watching shakespeare and llistening to music recitals.

Like they thought "We need a rough around the edges, salt of the earth, type who prefers to do things his way than obey protocol"

Which I guess at least made him contrast with the other captains

>>80029415
>Michael Dorn
>one of the best actors on DS9

Come on... Maybe on TNG

>>80030872
everyone was by the book outside of movies tho
Kirk was, Picard was and Janeway too to a fault

Not really, the only way he could be beaten was to make an entire planet uninhabitable to humans, shows how far Sisko would truly have gone in any situation. >>80030013

>>80029332
Kek, he's just a crazy mentally ill negro. No better or worse than your average delusional SJW sociology professor.

Hahaha!

>>80029266
At least he would be more entertaining to watch.

The rest of the cast carried DS9. He was an Affirmative Action hire, like the bitch from Voyager. The show would have been better off without him.

>>80032936
Janeway is the ultimate pleb filter. I've found while her reasoning and intentions can be twisted that her character is very much in keeping with a strong willed male's.
