    I can’t believe they made him “phase in” his signature look. I remember for a bit he had the goatee and the hair.

      The bald-head goatee is Brooks’s signature look, but it had been long associated with his Hawk character from Spenser: For Hire. They just kinda wanted to establish Sisko first and then were perfectly fine with him moving back to his preferred cut.

        Oh, gotcha. I had heard that it was because the network executives were worried he would appear too aggressive for a starfleet officer or something like that.
