Captain Benjamin Sisko, also known as Benny and Hawk, was (will be?) a high school principal and commander of a Space Station built by aliens with spoons on their foreheads. He also played a character by the same name in Deep Space Nine a show in some hippie series called Star Trek. Its pretty shitty, so you shouldn't watch it. This Article is about the guy in the TV show rather than the actor who actually changed his name to Avery Brooks to avoid confusion with the fictional character he played. This is different than the case of William Shatner who changed his name to Captain Kirk.
