That's what he said. He got call warning him about hiring Brooks, saying he hated white people. That is all the detail Behr offered. The stream in which Behr said it occurred somewhere in the last year.
Behr wasn't the showrunner or an executive producer during development of DS9, why would he have gotten that mail and not Piller or Berman? Are supervising producers more involved in casting?
He was hired to be a producer while the show was still in development. Perhaps you have heard of the Dodgers games he attended with Michael Piller?
I know that. But like I said, he was a supervising producer, so why contact him specifically?
Are you actually asking me to justify the ravings from some racist from almost thirty years ago? Please!
After you've confirmed what I said, don't be afraid to come back here to give me a like.
No doubt, he is a peculiar cat. 50YM didn't go into depth about any disagreements he may have had, but it seems that they really had to do with questions about acting, particularly when he directed episodes, and I think that they were mostly between Auberjonois and him. The story about "René's anger" in FBTS is now on the record, being in the documentary. Casey Biggs said that Brooks was normally a very quiet, reserved man EXCEPT when he directed. On the other hand, Shimerman and Farrell have said recently that Auberjonois could himself be tempermental. I tend to think that the conflicts on the show were more about the craft, with many seasoned performers, who thought they knew best, trying to get their way. And I could see how it would be difficult to get Brooks and Auberjoinois to work well together given their differing styles (I would never want to see a play with both men).
