Principal Quark

In Robert Strauss’ article about TV actors appearing on more than one show (“Putting in Double Time on TV Pays Off,” Jan. 2), he failed to mention Armin Shimerman, who is a main cast member as Quark on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and also has a recurring role as Principal Snyder on “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.”

Of course, in one of the roles his head is nearly covered by makeup appliances, but he still has to deliver his performance through the latex.
