====Television==== [[File:Alaimo, Shimerman and Meany.jpg|thumb|left|Shimerman ''(center)'' with ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space 9]]'' co-stars [[Marc Alaimo]] ''(left)'' and [[Colm Meaney]] ''(right)'']] Shimerman is known for his work as the [[Ferengi]] bar owner [[Quark (Star Trek)|Quark]] in the long-running television series ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'', though his involvement with the ''[[Star Trek]]'' franchise began with appearances as other Ferengi characters in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episodes "[[The Last Outpost (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|The Last Outpost]]" and "[[Peak Performance (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Peak Performance]]". As the character Quark, Shimerman became one of Star Trek's most widely known characters, and he appeared several times on the cover of ''TV Guide'', either with other actors or alone as part of a collector's series. [[File:Shimerman and Grodénchik by Beth Madison, 1.jpg|thumb|Shimerman ''(left)'' and [[Max Grodénchik]] ''(right)'' played the characters of two [[Ferengi]] brothers, [[Quark (Star Trek)|Quark]] and [[Rom (Star Trek)|Rom]], on ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space 9]]'']] Along with [[Patrick Stewart]], [[Marina Sirtis]], [[Jonathan Frakes]], and [[John de Lancie]], Shimerman is one of only a few actors to play the same character on four or more different ''Star Trek'' series. He played Quark in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'', ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', and ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]''. He reprised the role of Quark in the 1998 film ''[[Star Trek: Insurrection]]'', but only in deleted scenes. In addition to ''Star Trek'', Shimerman has had roles as Pascal on ''[[Beauty and the Beast (1987 TV series)|Beauty and the Beast]]'' and as [[Principal Snyder]] in 19 episodes of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. He has also starred as Anteaus in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' as one of the [[Nox (Stargate)|Nox]], an evil wizard in ''[[Charmed]]'', appeared as Stan the caddy in [[The Caddy (Seinfeld)|an episode]] of ''[[Seinfeld]]'', and as Dr. Patemkin on ''[[Leverage (American TV series)|Leverage]]''. Shimerman has appeared in the first seven episodes as Judge Brian Hooper in the third season of ''[[Boston Legal]]'', joining fellow ''Star Trek'' actors [[William Shatner]], [[René Auberjonois]], and [[Ethan Phillips]]. His character even shared a scene with Auberjonois, with the strife between the two characters reminiscent of the conflict between Shimerman's Quark and Auberjonois's Odo. He made an appearance as "The Terror" in the first ''[[The Tick (2001 TV series)|The Tick]]'' live-action series. He appeared in the series ''[[Numbers (TV series)|Numb3rs]]'' episode "[[Provenance (Numbers)|Provenance]]" as Patrick Holden. He had a small cameo in the episode "Posse Comitatus" of ''[[The West Wing]]'' as Richard the III and another in the film as an Old Man in the subway in ''[[What the Bleep Do We Know!?]]''. He has made appearances in various television series such as ''[[Babes (TV series)|Babes]]'' as Mr. Ian Anderson, ''[[Married... with Children]]'' as Mr. Lovejoy, ''[[Warehouse 13]]'' as Charlie Martin, ''[[Tremors (TV series)|Tremors]]'' as Cecil Carr, ''[[The Young and the Restless]]'' as Judge Graham Roberts, ''[[Castle (TV series)|Castle]]'' as Benjamin Donnelly, ''[[Bad Samaritans (TV series)|Bad Samaritans]]'' as the Judge, and ''[[Red Bird (web series)|Red Bird]]'' as Max.
