Brent Spiner – Star Trek: Nemesis

Brent Spiner played the android Data in the Star Trek franchise, and playing the eternally youthful robot for years began to take a toll on him.

The 74-year-old insisted Data should die in 'Star Trek: Nemesis' (2002) and luckily, he got what he wanted.

When the New York Times asked if he was satisfied with the movie, and more importantly, his death, the actor replied: "You know, I was perfectly happy with the ending of 'Nemesis' even though I know that a lot of fans weren’t. And then I feel that was sort of redeemed, in a way, for the fans in the first season of 'Picard.' I would hate to have missed both those moments.
