Armin Shimerman's voice is probably more familiar to many SF genre fans than his face, as he spent seven years under heavy makeup playing Quark on Star Trek Deep Space Nine, having previously been the franchise's very first Ferengi on Next Generation. He was also the little-mourned Principal Snyder of Sunnydale High for two and a half seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and has cropped up, in some capacity, on most of the fantasy or SF series of the past decade. His appearance and typecasting belie his own persona, as off-screen he is an amusing gentleman, and a consummate professional.
