Personal Quote:
[September 12, 2006] I don't think I should play Data anymore. I think I'm too old to play him anymore to be honest. I think it would look stupid putting that make-up on me at this point. There are certain characters that I think work in a youthful way and I think I really skated along the edge in the last couple movies as it was. See more »Trivia:
He was considered for the role of the Master in the television movie Doctor Who (1996), which went to Eric Roberts. See more »Trademark:
