I had a really nice time on [Alphas]. It was a bunch of really good actors, and I was particularly thrilled to be working with David Strathairn.

BRENT SPINERI went to New York out of college, and in my day, we were told that was the way you became a good actor. You don’t go to Hollywood, you go straight to New York and work in the theater. So that’s what most of the people I knew did.
BRENT SPINERI think Rick Berman just called me and asked me if I wanted to do the show [Star Trek: Enterprise], and he said they’d write an arc if I’d do it.
BRENT SPINERThe one on Fresh Hell is a little easier, because we make it up. It’s a strange kind of hybrid of the real me and… Well, obviously it’s me standing there, and it’s my voice and my face, but it’s also kind of filtered through Harry Hannigan’s take on the character, the one he’s writing.
BRENT SPINERI actually had some funny dialogue [ in Stardust Memories], a little piece, and we shot all day in this big ballroom.

BRENT SPINERMost of the time, what I do, somewhere there is comedy in it.
BRENT SPINEROf those, the only one that really stands out for me is Tales From The Darkside, for a couple of reasons, one in particular being who I got to work with on it, which was Eddie Bracken.
BRENT SPINERNeedless to say, I was impressed by Felicia [Day] and her moxie with how to do a web series. I mean, she’s the queen of the web.
BRENT SPINERPierre [from Dude, Where’s My Car?] could be the best thing I’ve ever done. When you distill it down to a minute and a half of work, that may be my finest effort.
BRENT SPINERI love the South Park guys, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. They’re geniuses. I throw that word around a lot, but I really do mean it.
