This is slander
Remember your taxonomic nomenclature!
Believe them, I just had that discussion.
Hey, it’s a miracle that I can even speak
Since it says Spiner “called,” it could be either: we don’t know whether he said it verbally or wrote it down.
Up is no!
I believe it! Cats are often assholes.
As someone who did acting to finance college…
I can confirm the sterotype which is:
Never act with children or animals.
Sad, but true.
May I ask why? I’m not familiar with acting stereotypes.
Because they don’t just do what they’re told, you have to adjust your work flow to suit them.
Exactly that ^^
Kids: they need decent parents. But parents shoving them into the spotlight? Well, that’s not fair at all.
Animals: They always do what you expect them the most: Do what ruins your shot! :D
That’s a very Brent Spiner thing to say, doesn’t mean he actually hated that cat. And it wasn’t just one cat playing the role anyway. Most if not all of them were good cats I’m sure.
I vaguely remember reading an interview about this though, Brent was saying the cats were terrible for not staying where they needed to be and their scenes always took ages. I don’t think he hated the animals, but the resentment was real.
Goddammut brent spiner is so cool.
They bring in Commander Maddox to cross-examine Data.
“Did you accuse the plaintiff of only taking direction if eating tuna was involved?”
“I did.”
“And do you think this is true?”
“I do.”
“And you don’t feel sorry at all for saying such a derogatory thing about one of your co-stars?”
“I do not.”
