#WHO PLAYED ROM ON STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE SEASON 1 EP 1 SERIES#
While working on "Perfect Mate" head of the makeup department Michael Westmore told Grodénchik about a new Star Trek series and that it would include a Ferengi as a series regular, and that his agent should check for casting call coming in a few months time. Max Grodenchik previously played two different Ferengi characters in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes " Captain's Holiday" and " The Perfect Mate".

In the early seasons, he works at Quark's bar. On the show he is often used for comic relief, but over the show's run the character grows in importance. He is Quark's younger brother, and the father of Nog. Rom is a Ferengi, the son of Keldar and Ishka.

This barter and trade system would extend into the Federation’s core crux of operation, apparently and, according to Saadia, Starfleet would then hand out a stipend to its offers when they were in regions where some sort of currency was needed.Rom is a recurring character on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This is actually seen in Voyager, where Captain Kathryn Janeway would often barter with other species and governments throughout the Delta Quadrant, in an attempt to get what she needed. While he goes into more detail in his book, Saadia writes that the Federation more than likely would operate like the Soviet Union in the 60s and 70s, by using the world market to sell their own resources, and then turn around and purchase what they needed from other vendors. Saadia, the writer of Trekonomics: The Economics of Star Trek (click to purchase) claims that the Federation sold goods to get latnium and any other form of currency or resource needed to help those who were in foreign territory. Well, according to Manu Saadia, who’s an economist and Star Trek fan, Starfleet did in fact use money.

One of the bigger forces on the station was the Ferengi, a race known for their monetary management acumen. Enter Deep Space Nine, a space station known for its multi-cultural port. In the near-utopian future, money no longer exists for the United Federation of Planets, but that doesn’t mean other cultures don’t still use some form of currency.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine introduced fans to a different side of the Federation’s operation. How Starfleet more than likely paid for their drinks at Quark’s bar.
