The funny thing is, this is almost exactly as awkward for Data and his coworkers Riker and Geordi as it is for Brent Spiner and his coworkers Jonathan Frakes and LeVar Burton. Data being an android is equaled out by Spiner being by all accounts a really crazy guy who’s down for whatever, and the other two being more-enlightened 24th-century humans is equaled out by Frakes and Burton being actors.
I often see clips from Spiner and Frakes podcast, Dropping Names, and one of the fun parts is seeing what characters they are, especially Brent. He’s definitely a bit eccentric, but somehow not as much as I was expecting.
