Brent Spiner and Johnathan Frakes (of Star Trek The Next Generation fame) have a podcast together. It’s really good, and you should listen. It’s only about 25% about Star Trek.
On a recent episode Spiner talks about losing a beloved dog named “John Hamm”. Apparently, when they got him the litter were all temporarily named pizza toppings, and the dog they chose was named “Ham”. They thought it funny to keep the “Ham” and call him John Hamm.
The Spiners are apparently big donors to animal rescue / welfare organization in their area, and their local rescue recently upgraded to much larger facilities. They called to ask if the Spiners could give, and if so in recognition of their donation they’d name a wing of the newly opened rescue center after their beloved late pet.
I’m not sure if Brent donated or not, but he said it gave him pause because he realized the actor John Hamm would get all the credit.
