Quark was played by character actor Armin Shimmerman. He isn't a midget, he's just kinda short. He played the first Ferengi we ever saw on an early episode of TNG. He made a good Ferengi, so they hired him as a regular on DS9.

English, Southern US, California - they're still all white boys to me and I still can't tell them apart. Guess I'll have to learn to hear differences that aren't apparent visually, especially difficult since I watch it muted with subtitles half the time anyway... and Armin makes a GREAT Ferengi, so great that when I see him without his ears on he looks as if his skull is misshapen.

I remember that episode of SNG, where Picard compared the Ferengi to the old time Yankee traders/peddlers. ie, making sure to compare them to white boys. and I agree, he makes a great Ferengi. He was interviewed in Starlog about it -- said he agreed to do it, asking that they redesign the teeth and ears, because they hurt.
