Star Trek S Armin Shimerman Used Quark S Deep Space Nine Teeth While Voicing Lower Decks Return

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine star Armin Shimerman went the extra mile to reprise his role as Quark in the most recent episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks. The episode, “Hear All, Trust Nothing,” brought the USS Cerritos crew to the eponymous space station featured in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Shimerman reprised his role as the Ferengi bartender Quark, along with his Deep Space Nine co-star Nana Visitor as Kira Nerys, the former Bajoran freedom fighter now tasked with running the station since Capt. Sisko’s disappearance. ComicBook.com spoke to Shimerman over the phone after the episode debuted. One might think it felt like cheating to get to play Quark without all of the prosthetics and makeup. It turns out that Shimerman dusted off his old teeth from Deep Space Nine to get Quark’s voice right, though he’s not sure it came through in the finished episode.
