Hey Gang!
One of my favorite males in dollyland is this Captain Benjamin Sisko from
Star Trek Deep Space Nine by Playmate. I was a fan of Avery Brooks from
his days of playing the Hawk on Spencer for Hire. He stole the scenes in
that role and was given his own show but it didn’t work out well. Bad writing
I think. Any way here he is as Benjamin Sisko!
He is a classically trained actor of theatre along with being a jazz musician, opera
singer and college professor. I was so happy to see him in the role of Sisko in
the series. You don't see many African Americans in futuristic shows/movies.
That sends the wrong message. As with many of the playmate action figures,
he has painted on boots( Boo-boo-boo!). One of the first things I did upon
purchasing him was to find him a new body that would better suit the roles I
had in mind for him. His head has been swapped onto a S Club Chad Hasbro body.
He can't move his arms or legs as well but this really gives me
the versatility to put him in many of male clothing lines. In dolly world
he is Rafael DeSante’.
In the motion picture business, he is a triple threat. He is a movie writer,
producer, director. He will be taking his talent to the small screen and theatre.
In his personal life he is a widowed father of three. All of the children have
inherited their father’s artistic talents.
His oldest son is Kemit (Moses-Prince of Egypt)
He was born while his father and mother were living in Egypt making a movie.
His daughter Francie/Francesca(Barbie’s cousin Francie she is on a Tiana body)
was born in France where they lived for many
years making many documentaries and historical movies
His youngest child Khaleel (Takara Tom)
was born the Sudan and named after a friend with whom the family lived
while in the Sudan. Sadly it was also where Mrs. DeSante' died in the birth of him.
Currently home base for the DeSante’s is in the US in NY but that is about to change!
OK, Thanks For Looking!
