Armin Shimerman was born in Lakewood, New Jersey, on November 5th 1949.
Shimerman came to the attention TV fantasy fans as Pascal in the popular 1987-1990 series 'Beauty and the Beast', but he's better known as Quark, the Ferengi bar owner in 'Star Trek - Deep Space Nine', hidden behind an extensive prosthetic makeup that made him the show's least recognisable, but perhaps best-loved, star.
