About the character:
The teen-ager Jake Sisko is the son of the commanding officer on
the space station Deep Space Nine, commander Benjamin
Sisko, and cannot remember what life is like on Earth. He has
throughout his childhood been on board four different space ships,
wherever his father was in duty. The mother dies during the big
borg attack in our solar system ("The Emissary" (1/2),
the same battle that can be seen in the "Star Trek: The Next
Generation" episode "The Best of Both Worlds" (74/75))
and father and son gain a stronger relationship.
Arrived at the space station he soon finds what becomes his best
friend, the ferengi Nog. It is
not a friendship his father agree of, as the Federation only has
experience with ferengis as selfish beings.
At first it seems that Jake will make a career in Starfleet as
his father, but eventually he takes an interest in writing and composing.
About the actor:
Cirroc Lofton is born in Los Angeles and gets his first real role
in the education programme "Agency for Instructional Technology",
when he is 9 years old.
His ability to play various parts makes him interesting to the
commercial industry and he appeares in commercials for the McDonald's
Corporation, Tropicana Orange Juice, Kellogg's Rice Krispies, and
Capri Sun.
In 1992 he is appearing in the movie "Beethoven" and
the course is set for his biggest appearance as Jake Sisko in "Star
Trek: Deep Space Nine".
To Avery Brooks, who plays his father in the TV series, he developes
a friendship with, which goes further when the cameras are turned
off. And if one think Cirroc Lofton is a self-satisfied star, nothing
could be farther from the truth. And besides he dreams more about
directing rather than countinue as an actor.
He loves the sport basketball and a good ride on his bike.
