How come the vast majority of Trek actors who wear a s***load of makeup and prostetics for their roles, like Armin Shimerman, Aron Eisenberg and Ethan Phillips, short and bald in real life?

And Jewish? (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

They are short, they are bald, and they are Jewish!

WHY?!?!

Bob Picardo ain't Jewish, and he also is not that short, but he is EXTREMELY BALD!!! Didn't he EVER have hair?

I have nothing wrong with Jews, but I wonder about the bald dudes. Why can't they have hair?

Everyone should have hair. No one should ever go bald!

(In a perfect utopia of a world, maybe!)

I must point out that Ilia was a chromedome. She's the only woman in Trek like that, that I know of.

I know, this post has no real point. But it's funny!

What does the actors' religion have to do with anything?

[sigh]

Just a coincidence I noticed. (And no, I am not back to trolling!)

Yes, you are. And no, it's not funny.

I'm not sure that Shimerman, Eisenberg and Phillips constitute the "vast majority of Trek actors" who wear make-up and prosthetics. I'm sure that if anybody cared, they could come up with a much longer list of prostheticed Trek actors who aren't either short, bald or Jewish.

But you're right about one thing: your post has no real point. Why on earth did you need to set up a new topic for this?
