Was the first actor, ever, to play a Ferengi on "Star Trek", as "Letek" on the Star Trek: La nueva generación (1987) episode, The Last Outpost (1987). Five years later, he was offered the role of "Quark" on Star Trek: Espacio profundo nueve (1993), the first Ferengi character in the main cast of any Star Trek series and a role that he would play for seven years.

"I didn't take anything from the set, at the end of Star Trek: Espacio profundo nueve (1993). I wanted to remember everything the way it was".
