Avery Brooks has saved working in numerous capacities, even when it is to not the extent of different “Star Trek” actors. He recorded an audiobook for “Roots” and even labored as a music supervisor for William Shatner’s “The Captains Shut Up” sequence. In 2012, the actor made headlines after getting arrested for allegedly driving whereas underneath the affect. There’s not a lot to go off of, and in response to one in all his former co-stars, it might not be resulting from Brooks retiring by selection.
Cirroc Lofton, who performs Jake Sisko on “Star Trek: Deep Area 9,” spoke about Brooks at size on a livestream for the YouTube channel Orville Nation in 2020. Lofton asserted that Brooks is “form of being discriminated towards” in terms of different “Star Trek” actors persevering with to be a part of the franchise and getting work, however he is been largely sidelined. Lofton went as far as to say that “there is no query that [Brooks is] keen” to come back again to appearing, however the alternatives merely aren’t there.
Skepticism may be wholesome with such claims, as there is no official phrase from Brooks straight about what he desires by way of an appearing profession and if he’d come again to “Star Trek.” Nonetheless, bringing again Captain Sisko can be an ace within the gap for “Star Trek” to get followers invested once more, particularly with “Picard” having ended. Who is aware of what might’ve occurred behind-the-scenes that will have hampered Brooks’ profession? No matter what’s really occurring, there’s little doubt “Star Trek” followers would welcome Captain Sisko again with open arms ought to he ever return in live-action.
