Aron Eisenberg, born January 6, 1969, in Los Angeles, California, was an American actor best known for portraying Nog, the first Ferengi to join Starfleet, in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He also appeared in Star Trek: Voyager and was a podcaster and photographer.

     Eisenberg was born with only one partially functioning kidney, which limited his growth. He underwent a kidney transplant at age 14 and later studied theater at Moorpark College in California. His early career included roles in Tales from the Crypt, The Wonder Years, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, and General Hospital. He also appeared in films such as The Liars' Club, Puppet Master III, and The Horror Show.

     In 1993, Eisenberg was cast as Nog, the nephew of Quark, in Deep Space Nine. His character evolved from a mischievous Ferengi to a Starfleet officer, making him one of the most compelling arcs in the series. He also played Kar, a Kazon, in Star Trek: Voyager (Initiations, 1995). Outside of acting, he hosted and produced the Star Trek-themed podcast The 7th Rule.

     Eisenberg was married to Malíssa Longo, and they had two children. He worked as a professional photographer, opening his own gallery before 2013. In 2015, he was diagnosed with kidney failure again and received a second transplant in December 2015. He passed away on September 21, 2019, at age 50. In tribute, Star Trek: Discovery honored him with the USS Nog, an Eisenberg-class starship.
