    As much as I liked him as Data, there is a special place in my heart for Bob Wheeler.

    How many people besides me would like to hear Brent Spiner say “Resistance is futile” in Bob Wheeler’s voice?

    I met Brent last year at Boston Fan Expo. My first words to him before we had our picture taken was "Bob Wheeler you Yugoslavian recidivist knucklehead, what the heck brings you by?" He couldn't been more gracious and funny.

    I have known Brent for 60 years. He has always been funny. We were in the same drama class. He got famous. I became a government bureaucrat where my audience had lower standards

    I met Brent at a convention in Tennessee and I asked him a question that if Q was putting humanity on trial again, how screwed would we be if Bob Wheeler was the one defending humanity......he said "very" lol

    I never laughed harder than seeing him do Bob Wheeler on Night Court. I still chuckle when I think of it.

    The Wheelers and the guy with Tortoise Nervosa were the funniest people to come through the courtroom.

    The very first time I saw Data on TNG, I yelled out to my son and cats “Oh my god, it’s Bob Wheeler from Night Court! He even does the Bob voice in an episode of TNG when Data is malfunctioning! Love his acting in everything I’ve seen. Doctor Oken is a great role and well acted. Carry on, Mr. Spiner!

    They are actually going to do a Night Court reboot, with John Larroquette reprising Dan Fielding. The Judge will be Abby Stone, the daughter of Judge Harry Stone and I understand she will be portrayed by Melissa Rauch, who was Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowicz on The Big Band Theory. I hope the Wheelers make an appearance.

    He is a wildly talented actor. The one ST:TNG episode where he plays Data, Lor and Dr. Noonyan Soong (sp) really shows his versatility. Also in "Fist full of Datas" where he played a number of different characters against each other. Just an amazing talent.

    After seeing him play Bob Wheeler, Data, Dr. Okin, and the dance instructor on Out To Sea, he has to be the most versatile actor on the planet.
