One of the few celebrities I follow on Twitter is Brent Spiner who played Data on Star Trek:TNG. I also remember him from the Night Court days when he had a memorable role as the hick, Bob Wheeler, that used to show up in Harry's court from time to time.

In the beginning his Twitter feed had pretty interesting interactions with Wil Wheaton and Levar Burton. But lately he seems to have turned his feed into a murder mystery that casts himself as a man who is setup for killing someone. He uses the alias of Norman Maine (from the movie A Star Is Born). I find his use of that name interesting only because in the movie Norman Maine was a fading celebrity.

Where is he now in the mystery? The murder has happened and Brent is now in hiding. He even alludes to a NY Post article about the murder. The funny bit from today is that he has shaved his head because the swine flu mask he was using to go incognito isn't good enough. He is still recognizable.

It should be interesting to see where this progresses.
