Siddig had some dispute about toy rights, and then he had his passive aggressive phase over turning into Spock. Those were sources of tension in the cast. Visitor was/is the glue of the cast. She got along with everyone--obviously Siddig--but has been close to Auberjonois and Brooks. Siddig and Meaney are close.
Admiral. Aug 19, 2021. #6. You wouldn't be blacklisted for being a socialist. That was big in 1950, but socialism is pretty mainstream nowadays. And honestly, if Brooks had been blacklisted, the whole Trek community would have been up in arms when it happened, unless he had REALLY done something to deserve it. Practicing a mere philosophy would ...
1. Avery Brooks has gone completely insane. 2. The day that they filmed this, Brooks had a high fever or was on some serious medication. 3. It was all a put-on, just Brooks having some fun at Shatner's expense. 4. Shatner recut the footage to make Brooks look crazy.
1. Avery Brooks has gone completely insane. 2. The day that they filmed this, Brooks had a high fever or was on some serious medication. 3. It was all a put-on, just Brooks having some fun at Shatner's expense. 4. Shatner recut the footage to make Brooks look crazy. Listening to him speak was absolutely exasperating.

Avery Brooks played my favorite STAR TREK captain. I saw his documentary with Shatner, and while it seems like he's out there, it's his prerogative. I have seen his panels durung DragonCon appearances, and he is a very intelligent, insightful man. I would have loved to be in one of his classes while he was teaching.
Brooks is usually either fulminatingly angry or weirdly, almost hysterically enthusiastic. In the Dax episode "Equilibrium," however, Brooks looks and sounds, frankly, bored. To be fair, Equilibrium is a bit of a boring episode as well. It's alright, just very subdued with lots of exposition talk.
Mar 16, 2020. #14. DS9forever said: Brooks was mentioned by Winston Duke (the new Hawk) in a recent interview: "Avery Brooks’ turn as Hawk was so meaningful for black viewers who got to see this cool, debonair black brother who was doing an unorthodox job at the time and just killing it.
Admiral. Sep 6, 2021. #27. If such a phone call was indeed placed, there’s a whole range of opinions Brooks could have expressed about race relations that a reactionary race alarmist could interpret as “Hates white people”. It’s well established he insisted all Sisko’s love interests to be black.
Avery Brooks is obviously not a hateful crazed racist and that's not really being suggested, more that he could have expressed some racial bias particularly in his younger days in the industry, not really that uncommon for a black actor in the late 1970s/early 1980s.
