He also played Sisko's dad, right?

The preacher in Far Beyond the Stars... the liaison between the surreal world in Sisko's head, and the real world. A very nice character.
And as Sisko's father, he gave us a look at the common man on 24th Century Earth, a rare treat on a Star Trek series.
I still have to watch 'To Kill a Mockingbird', I'm afraid.

Awww.... Damn it. A really great actor- I loved him as Joseph Sisko. THey really added to the Trek universe with his character.
I have To Kill A Mockingbird on my coffee table right now waiting viewing (it's among several movie classics I bought recently that I keep meanng to watch).

Also the voice of Darth Vader from the Star Wars Radio Drama.
To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite non-scifi movie.
He will be missed.

I've been going back through DS9 and watched 'Homefront' & 'Paradise Lost' last night. And I thought to myself, damn he's good. In the scene with the blood-test. And as Cartwright, perfect. Damn. He will be sorely missed.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Yeah, just the scene later on where Ben has to explain leaving Jake behind on DS9 was a great father/son dressing down.
Great chemistry between him Cirroc Lofton and Avery Brooks.

Hmmm... you're talking about Brock Peters, right? And I suppose the link is to news about his death?
Damn, more sad news (yesterday a 737 crashed here... well, not "here" as in "right where I live" but as in "in this country").

I hope this year isn't known for how many Trek actors we loose.

We've only lost two so far...right?

There's this neat new invention you might have seen called "hypertext". It lets you use your computer mouse to click on bits of text called "links", and a new Web page will open. Try it some time. It's really great.

MSNBC does not like to display articles on Macs. At least, not on my Mac at work. I clicked on the link and didn't see the story, just the surrounding graphics.
I had to log onto CNN.com to read about it.

There's this thing called "deductive process" which constitutes a great mental exercise. It's greater than you would think...
Besides, a) I found it strange that nobody would mention his name, and b) as I mentioned, I already had heard other sad news, so I didn't want to become even more depressed than I already was.

Uh-huh. But why, then, would you ask whether the article was what you thought it was, rather than just clicking the link and finding out?
"...as I mentioned, I already had heard other sad news, so I didn't want to become even more depressed than I already was."
Well, if you didn't want to know about it, then, again, why would you ask?
