Avery Brooks is admitting he 'was exhausted' after directing and acting in StarTrekDS9's most beloved episode, 'Far Beyond the Stars.'

This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors.

The actor spoke with ET leading up to its premiere 25 years ago, admitting he"was exhausted" after directing and acting in the episode, which saw him play two sides of the same Benjamin Sisko. Brooks said he agreed to the challenge for"many reasons," but figured at the end of the day,"Well, after all, I know about this stuff."

In"Far Beyond the Stars," Sisko, needing an escape while grieving a friend and hearing tragic reports from the ongoing Dominion War, finds respite after dreaming himself out of the 24th century and into Harlem circa 1953. As he discovers, it’s no Risa vacation because Sisko’s alter ego, a science-fiction author named Benny Russell, faces a battle of his own.

"The notion is that [Russell]'s a writer and he wants people to deal with how he sees the world," Brooks explained."And indeed the world is not particularly ready to see, in the mainstream of it, somebody talking about Brown people being alive in the future."Another reason? Benny Russell was a chance to"investigate the [lives]" of influential Black authors amid, as he saw it, a lack of discussion on who those people are.
