A Man Called Hawk (Avery Brooks) (filmed, series, ratings, shows)

[Motion]

Remember this show? This is one of those shows that should have lasted a little longer.

Mostly remember the role from Spenser: for hire. I thought he was fantastic in the series along with Robert Urich.

Hawk was a role that was made for him. I can't see no one other than Avery Brooks playing him.

Yep. I remember watching it in my dorm room.

He'll always be Benjamin Sisko, Emmisiary to the Prophets and Starfleet captain who plays hardball with it comes to war to me. DS9 wouldn't have been the same series without the force of personality he gave the captain.

I have to say that I liked him as Hawk and liked him as Sisko as well. Really liked DS9 a lot, and he was one of the main reasons.

I was an extra on that show quite a few times since alot of it was filmed in DC. He was a pretty cool guy on the set.

I remember at the beginning of DS9 he had a full head of hair and clean shaven. Then later on when the ratings started to dip, he came back for the new season bald and with a goatee, and I was like, "Captain Hawk!!"

It did. It eventually became Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

It matched the way Sisko had changed. Not only was he growing more comfortable with being the Emmissary, and willing to challenge starfleets displeasure on that, but he saw WAR coming and was becomming a warrior. The very different thing about this show was it was about and area and people who were not used to peace and certainty, and it changed the starfleeters who lived among them. They often refered to 'new frontiers' but DS9 actually took them there.

I see, if things had gone very wrong for the feds, that Sisko would have turned guerilla and resistance without starfleet because it is just how he was made.
