Here's Brent Spiner (Star Trek's Data) doing his greatest party trick: a pitch-perfect imitation of Patrick "Captain Picard" Stewart, including hilarious anaecdotes about how he used this power to sow mischief. Patrick Stewart got his revenge later.

Brent Spiner imitates Patrick Stewart... again. (Thanks, Fipi Lele!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    With an imitation that good, it’s no wonder he was able to isolate bridge command functions and single handedly steal the enterprise.

    Pwhee. I was afraid that this was going to be X-Rated.
    Those slash fiction people just don’t stop!

    Seems unfair that Brent has been issued a British accent, while Cory — who filled out the paperwork and everything — still waits for his.

      Shoulda put a shiny groat in the envelope…

    This is how Patrick Stewart does so much cartoon voice work… half the time, it’s actually subcontracted to Brent.
