Notable Guest Stars:
Max Grodenchik (Rom) – Grodenchik has played several Ferengi characters over the years, but his most lasting and most known role is that of Rom, Quark’s brother.
Aron Eisenberg (Nog) – Aron Eisenberg makes his first appearance as Rom’s son Nog in this episode. Nog has one of the best storylines in the series, so pay attention to this character (and actor)
Wallace Shawn (Grand Nagus Zek) – Wallace Shawn of “Never fight with a Sicilian When Death is on the line!” fame has been one of my favorite guest actors. I love him as Zek, and I also loved his roles in the aforementioned Princess Bride, as well as Clueless and Crossing Jordan where he plays the titular character’s therapist for a few seasons.
Lee Arenberg (Gral) – Lee Arenberg more recently might recongised as Grumpy, from Once Upon a Time and as a member of Black Pearl’s crew in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Lou Wagner (Krax) – Lou Wagner has already graced our screen as Daimon Solok.
Barry Gordon (Nava)- Gordon was a actor, Talk show host, and SAG president from 1988-1995 (which would mean as this episode was made and aired). He also did voice acting, and therefore part of my first fandom obsession: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He did the voice of Donatello. He has been acting since he was three years old and continues to be active in the field.
Tiny Ron Taylor (Maihar’du) – Taylor will also appear on Star Trek Voyager. He tends to be typecast due to his very tall height of 7 feet. He was also a professional basketball player, even playing on the rarely known Pittsburgh Condors. Well, that may be because they only lasted about five years. Unfortunately, he died in 2019.
