One of his stunt scenes as double for Spiner's character Data in Star Trek: Insurrection was cut and removed from the final released version. This scene, a fight scene with stuntmen Brian Avery, Joey Box, and Eddie Braun, was explained and shown in the Star Trek: Insurrection (Special Edition) DVD feature "Anatomy of a Stunt".
