Superhero Parody For Commander Data

Hollywood, often the great, faceless arbitrator of cinematic destiny, is not as straightfoward as it may seem. It doesn't cultivate only the talented, nor does it reject only goose eggs. Capitalism, whim, and the particular circumstances of a given time all have an effect on how well an actor/ess "makes it" in the movies. Also the quality of his or her performance has a lot to do with the role they are given, the other actors, the crew...all on top of their personal training. Brent Spiner has been trained much in the tradition of other theater actors: trained in method acting, and most of all, trained in flexibility...which didn't suit him well for the typical Hollywood scene. It's a little like having a jack of all trades trying to get work in a factory that only offers very specialized fields. They like to have character actors that they can easily organize and label neatly. Like most things, Hollywood is a packagable product--please understand that I'm not being critical of that...I'm merely drawing attention back to that fact.
