Actor Aron Eisenberg, who played Nog on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, died Saturday at age 50, his wife Malíssa Longo posted on Facebook. "He was an intelligent, humble, funny, emphatic soul," Longo wrote. "He sought to live his life with integrity and truth. He was so driven to put the best he had into whatever work was put before him."

The actor's cause of death wasn't released, but he underwent his second kidney transplant in 2015, StarTrek.com notes in an obituary.

Eisenberg played Nog, the first Ferengi to join Starfleet, and appeared in 40 episodes from across all seven seasons. The show ran from 1993 to 1999. His character was the son of Rom, the nephew of Quark, and the best friend of Jake Sisko, who was the son of commanding officer Benjamin Sisko.

RIP.
Anyone else curious as to how much Frank Herbert's Tleilaxu race affected the development of the appearance of the Ferengi?

As a 43 year old - 50 is too close for comfort.

As a 43 year old - 50 is too close for comfort.

I wonder what caused a double kidney failure. Is it lifestyle, genetics or plain old bad luck?

For a Ferengi, 50 Earth years is old age
RIP buddy - I enjoyed your shows.
