[edit] Cisco Systems
He also appeared in a TV commercial/advertisement for Cisco Systems (pun on Sisko, his DS9 character). Don't know if that's worth mentioning; feel free to add it if it is :-). --BigglesZX 16:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dates? Alma Mater?
Some of the dates and other information in the article might be suspect. According to his Rutgers University Hall of Distinguished Alumni entry, he is a '73 alum of the university's Livingston College (receiving his MFA in 1976). However, this might simply be intentionally misleading, as Joyce Kilmer is also listed in the Hall (as an '08 alum), despite having flunked out of the college before transferring to Columbia. Furthermore, Brooks couldn't have possibly become a member of the Mason Gross faculty in 1972. Planning for the school didn't even begin until 1975!

[edit] Better Picture
Do you think we could get a better picture of Mr. Brooks? He's bound to be at a Science fiction convention some time this year, so if someone could get one of him that is similar to other actor's bio pages (smiling, looking casual, preferably standing), that would be nice. He's too good an actor to be known just for his role as Ben Sisko, and the Sisko picture is low res, and is simply a cast pic from who-knows-when.--Dante 19:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Robeson
You missed one of his greatest talents. He appeared in a one man show titled "Paul Robeson". He appeared on stage with a table and two chairs. His talents enabled the audience to be taken to Paris and other areas of Paul Robeson's life. Any one who got to see his performance was truly touched.
