- Armin: I've acted all my life. I had the good fortune to spend my youth on Broadway doing four different shows. Three Penny Opera, St. Joan, Broadway, and the Richard Rodgers musical version of I Remember Mama. This followed by many years of what we call Regional Theatre and then I was seduced by the dark side of the force and left (well actually returned to) for Hollywood to start a television career. Its been a wonderfully satisfying and creative life of acting, writing, directing, and teaching.

- Armin: I'm five foot six. I brought the experience of being a short person in a tall society, and that is something that only somebody who is my height understands.
  Edit Share Hide
- Armin: (on his Star Trek work) Well I certainly had a good time. I was a big Star Trek fan before I was on Star Trek, I watched the original like any good fan and was very happy to be a part of it. So I'm very honoured to be a part of the Star Trek franchise and it introduced me to a lot of wonderful people who I wouldn't have met if I had not been on Star Trek.
