Talk:Avery Brooks

message: He also appeared in a TV commercial/advertisement for Cisco Systems (pun on Sisko, his DS9 character). Don't know if that's worth mentioning; feel free to add it if it is :-). --BigglesZX 16:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Some of the dates and other information in the article might be suspect. According to his Rutgers University Hall of Distinguished Alumni entry, he is a '73 alum of the university's Livingston College (receiving his MFA in 1976). However, this might simply be intentionally misleading, as Joyce Kilmer is also listed in the Hall (as an '08 alum), despite having flunked out of the college before transferring to Columbia. Furthermore, Brooks couldn't have possibly become a member of the Mason Gross faculty in 1972. Planning for the school didn't even begin until 1975!

message: Do you think we could get a better picture of Mr. Brooks?  He's bound to be at a Science fiction convention some time this year, so if someone could get one of him that is similar to other actor's bio pages (smiling, looking casual, preferably standing), that would be nice.  He's too good an actor to be known just for his role as Ben Sisko, and the Sisko picture is low res, and is simply a cast pic from who-knows-when.--Dante 19:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: You missed one of his greatest talents.  He appeared in a one man show titled "Paul Robeson".  He appeared on stage with a table and two chairs.  His talents enabled the audience to be taken to Paris and other areas of Paul Robeson's life.  Any one who got to see his performance was truly touched.

message: In the article we can read "His maternal grandfather, Samuel Travis Crawford" and later on "his maternal uncle Samuel Travis Crawford was a member of the Delta Rhythm Boys". According to Delta Rhythm Boys page the band member was called Traverse Crawford and not Samuel Travis. Are these the same person or two different persons?

message: Description of "The Captains" as including all captains.  This sentence needs to be reworded because it is false.  Even if we were to assume you meant "only main characters" you would still be incorrect as George Takai was not included in the documentary.  He was a captain in The Undiscovered Country.173.166.2.20 (talk) 03:59, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been" cited twice successively?
Because this is a biography and not a resume (which would be intended to direct the reader's attention to certain things and to deliberately deemphasize others), the overall structure should be reorganized a little bit.  Thank you to everyone who did a good job on this article.

message: The information about his family (wife, children, residence) is not supported by the content at http://www.newjerseynewsroom.com/style/rutgers-helping-transform-prison-inmates-into-honor-students. Additionally, this is a dead link. The only alternative version I found was one at archive dot is, which is a blacklisted site. I couldn't find am Internet Archive version.
I found three other references which confirm Vicki Brooks' title, the family information and residence. I'll add them next and remove the NewJerseyNewsroom.com source. Ericschwarz2001 (talk) 20:44, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
