By Steve Krutzler / 17:08, 9 December 2003 / Chats and Q&As
He played the mischevious, scheming, occasionally heroic (and never "nefarious") Ferengi 'Quark' on DEEP SPACE NINE for seven years. Now he's written three books combining time travel, politics, and his own fascination with Renaissance history in THE MERCHANT PRINCE.
Armin Shimerman will join TrekWeb for an online chat event next Tuesday, December 16th @ 7p ET/4p PT. Armin also co-wrote the best-selling novel THE 34TH RULE with David R. George III and Eric A. Stillwell.
His latest book, THE MERCHANT PRINCE III: CAPITAL OFFENSE, has just hit book stores in time for the Holiday season. Shimerman also starred in a Burbank, CA performance of THE HOSTAGE earlier this year and his voice can be found in the new DVD release of THE TICK. Armin is delighted to answer questions about his books, his writing, his performances, and of course 'Quark' and the world of STAR TREK.
Send in your question(s) for one of TREK's most talented actors and then stop by next week to join the chat. We'll post a direct link on the TrekWeb home page next Tuesday night so you can easily join the chat in a JAVA-capable browser.
