I don't care about profit!

I was so sad to hear that Aron Eisenberg, the actor who played Nog on DS9, has died at 50. :( His friendship with Jake is one of my favorite parts of the whole show. I knew when Sisko caught them in the cargo bay, ready to open a can of whoop-ass on Jake for breaking his rules, and Jake was teaching Nog to read that DS9 was going to occupy a special place in my heart.

Rest in peace, Aron, and thank you for portraying one of the most interesting and compelling characters in Trek.

That's always been one of my favorite and unforgettable moments too.

Gentle journey, Aron.

I really love that he becomes the first Ferengi in Starfleet. Such a great story arc.

Oh, jeez. :( This is a shame. People are lining up to welcome the latest entrant into the great con in the sky...

I never realized he was that much older than I am. That's character bleedthrough, again.

I didn't either! The actor who plays Jake is just a year older than I am; he's 41. But Aron was ten years older than me. I guess the makeup hid his age.

I've heard he was a really nice guy in real life, too. Some friends who do/did Star Trek tie-ins were posting about him.

So many of the Trek actors seem like they're really nice people in RL. I'm so glad that was true of him, too.

It is such a shame. He played Nog so well. RIP.

He really did. His character arc is so powerful.

Oh, that's really sad. Nog was my fave non-Sisko character on DS9. <3

It is really sad. Way too young. :(

I was shocked myself. I got a blurb from Creation Entertainment that 3 of the actors had died that did various Trek eps. He was young, I had the impression everytime I saw him that he was a kid. I'll miss him too. I liked Nog.

Oh, no. Who are the other actors?

He did a good job of acting like a kid even though he was in twenties when the show started. I always thought he was my age because I am the age of the actor who played Jake. I was surprised to find out he's ten years older than I am.

Thank you!

I also saw under that post that the actor who played Lursa died this August. :(

Stands to reason we will be losing a lot more as time go on. A lot of them were in there 30 and 40's when they played parts in the earlier Trek shows.

I know. :( And the TNG cast is getting old, too.

Yes.
