Armin Shimerman in Quark makeup on Live with Regis & Kathie Lee

That's awesome. And I love how they introduce Regis and Kathy Lee as that "wild and wacky duo", lmao!
 
Armin Shimerman has always been just a classy person all the way. I love seeing him here, absolutely owning the character. :D
 
Let's just cut to the chase...

Ahhh I am so watching this today! :) I love Armin Shimerman and Regis!

On somewhat of a similar note, I found this thing on Google and am looking for a place to post it because I think it's humorous (it's Quark-related so maybe this is okay).

I was watching DS9's "Body Parts" the other day and then Googled 'Quark' to get a picture of him for something and came across this cheese also named Quark and it just struck me funny. My mind started wandering and I thought maybe instead of his desiccated remains being sold for latinum, they made him into cheese. Low fat Quark lol. :lol:

Wow, that was great! I am not up on my TNG trivia and did NOT know he played the original Ferengi! That is awesome! :)

That was pretty awesome I didn't know either. It was kinda awkward when they were talking to him with the make-up on.

Prior to assuming the role of Quark, however, Shimerman earned the distinction of being among the first to ever portray a Ferengi in the Star Trek franchise when the race first appeared in the Next Generation episode "The Last Outpost". Shimerman went on to make two more appearances on TNG (including a second time as a Ferengi in the episode "Peak Performance") and to star on Deep Space Nine for its entire seven-year run (1993 – 1999).

Shimerman was one of three actors to portay Ferengi in their first appearance in "The Last Outpost."

Was he cast first? I don't know. I think it's probably a coincidence that his Ferengi persona bears a striking resemblance to his real life face, but hey.
 
I like this guy. He's a very good actor. I've seen him play a judge on "The practice" and maybe also "Boston Legal". He's very good there too.

In my language (Dutch) 'kwark' (pronounced very much like 'quark') actually is the generic name for this type of cheese product. So I've had this association since the very first time I ever saw Quark in DS9 :)
 
^ Oh sorry I would have seen him as Principal Snyder in Buffy, just didn't recognize him straight away.
 
What a great interview. This reinforces my view that Armin Shimerman is an excellent actor.

"I am the original Ferengi".

It's like he can't help but be Quark. Stanislovsky would be so proud.
