Actually, my boss was a good guy.
He protested....I explained....he was OK.

There is much to be said for that silent deer-in-the-headlights look.

A rolled up newspaper on his snoot will work too.

I'm also thinking a

Will work too

I'm trying to get into one of the later Star Trek series, as I've about finished TNG.
DS9 has some things I like, like the episode that mentions Dax going from a male host to a female host (although TNG's episode with trans issues was much better), and Quark is funny, at least several TNG characters are in, but it just seems so dry. No exploration, no boldy going where no one has gone before, and how the hell does Odo manage to sneak into the right places at the right time?
Voyager, at least it's on a star ship and has some of the stuff TOS and TNG has that DS9 doesn't.
Enterprise...nope.
I'm also heavily biased towards towards classically trained actors, and because Patrick Stewart is a Royal Shakespearean, it will take a lot for me to think any other captain is better.

Avery Brooks was a not with the Royal Shakespeare Academy but he has a pretty darn impressive Resume

Avery Brooks attended Indiana University and Oberlin College, and later completed his B.A., plus an M.F.A. from Rutgers University in 1976, becoming the first African American to receive an MFA in acting and directing from Rutgers

Brooks has taught at Oberlin College and Case Western Reserve University. A graduate of the Livingston College and Mason Gross School of the Arts components of Rutgers University, he accepted an appointment in 1976 as Associate Professor of Theatre Arts with tenure, and has since been promoted to full Professor.[8]

From 1993 to 1996, Brooks was Artistic Director for the National Black Arts Festival in association with Rutgers University. Held biannually since 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia, the internationally renowned festival celebrates African-American culture and people of African descent. In addition, Brooks has done extensive work with the Smithsonian Institution's Program in Black American Culture

Theater

Brooks received critical acclaim in Phillip Hayes Dean's play Paul Robeson. Brooks portrayed the life of the famous singer, actor, and civil rights activist in a one-man, critically acclaimed biographical drama. He has performed the role since 1982 at the Westwood Playhouse in Los Angeles, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and the Longacre Theater on Broadway. He also portrayed Robeson in Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been?, both on and Off-Broadway.

Brooks' early theater credits include The Offering, A PHOTOGRAPH: A Study of Cruelty, and Are You Now or Have You Ever Been in the 1970s. He started to gain recognition after his appearance in Spell #7 at the Public/Anspache Theater in New York City in 1979. He subsequently starred in Othello at the Folger Shakespeare Festival (1985) and Fences at the Repertory Theater of St. Louis, Missouri (1990). He reprised the role of Othello at the Washington Shakespeare Theater in 1990-1991.

Brooks appeared in the title role of The Oedipus Plays, a production that traveled to the 2003 Athens Festival in Greece. He also appeared in the title role of King Lear at Yale's Repertory Theatre. In 2005, Brooks again starred as Othello, this time at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in a production directed by the renowned Michael Kahn. Brooks was one of 15 actors of the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington to be honored with the William Shakespeare Award for Classical Theatre in 2007. He returned to the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Fall 2007 to play the title role in Christopher Marlowe's Tamburlaine.

In 2008, Brooks returned to Oberlin College to play the lead in a mixed-race production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.

Once again, Avery played the title role of Paul Robeson at the Shakespeare Theater from March 24–27 in 2011.

He does, and he even had a role in one of my favorite movies. But has Avery Brooks acted with David Tennant in a performance of Hamlet?
