- I'm sure you speak for a good many people, and my response is: Fandom,
- leave YOUR ego at the door.
-
- Television acting IS a job. That's what Avery Brooks is being hired for,
- to act. If he does a good job (and judging by his past performances, I
- have every reason to believe he will), then we fans will be lucky to have
- him as part of Star Trek. He, or any other Star Trek actor, is under no
- obligation whatsoever to appear at conventions; it's not part of the job
- description. From what I've seen at some of the cons, I'm not sure *I'd*
- want to appear at them either.
-
- Avery Brooks can best serve Star Trek, and Star Trek fandom, by giving the
- best performances he is capable of giving. Period.
