I think he only practiced flashing the Vulcan sign so that he could probe 2 guys at once and still work the remote with his thumb.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but I intervieuwed Brent Spiner as well, and I am convinced that at some time in or after his career he will throw the clausit-doors wide open and burst into the room singing Liza Minelli-songs.

(Another dissapointing tidbit: The man is a complete Jerk)

While Deforest Kelly never had children, but was married and, from all accounts I've seen and from what I saw at conventions, loved his wife and did not seem to be gay.

Apparently, now that Sulu is gay, you really don't know where the tribbles have been.

Spiner's wife Loree McBride and three-year-old son Jackson may be surprised at that particular allegation.

Hey once Captain Kirk did the alien green chick in that one episode, what's the big deal about one of flight deck officers being gay?

I mean really.........if the Captain of a Federation Starship could actually do a green alien woman....... :-)

To simplify my life, I'm just going to assume that everyone is Hollywood is gay until proven otherwise. Not that it will change my life one iota.

With all due respect: They would'nt be the first wife&children combo who were to find out last.

No argument here, I just tend to be a little skeptical about accusations of being gay thrown at anyone and everyone.

BTW, the only 'false positive' I ever got on gaydar was a show business type. I guess he worked around so many of them, he picked up some of the mannerisms and such.

I've come to the conclusion by the time folks "come out", everyone already knows.

His mother always knew.

"No argument here, I just tend to be a little skeptical about accusations of being gay thrown at anyone and everyone."

Ditto.

I would not have believed such "acusations" myself but spending the better part of an hour with the guy, left me convinced that this was no false-positive or aquired mannerism.
