For the last 20 years, Lee Arenberg has thrived with an amazing acting career that has spanned film, stage and TV, including some great guest starring roles on
Star Trek. As a native Angeleno, Arenberg grew up and went to school with many of Hollywood's finest actors and directors, including Tim Robbins, Robert Downey Jr., Sean Penn and John Cusack.
Fans today will most likely recognize Lee from his work in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy playing one half of the comic relief duo of Pintel and Ragetti (Mackenzie Crook).
Arenberg's roles on Star Trek include three Ferengi: the vengeful DaiMon Bok in "Bloodlines," the threatening Gral from DS9's "The Nagus," and the suspicious DaiMon Prak from TNG's "Force of Nature." His other, non-Ferengi, roles include a Malon named Pelk in Voyager's "Juggernaut" and a Tellarite named, oddly, "Gral." (Yes, we too think Lee is the only guest star to be featured as two different aliens, but with the same name!) Gral was featured in the fourth-season Enterprise arc of "Babel One" and "United."
With stories ranging from getting crucial career advice from Kate Mulgrew, to being a key member of The Actors' Gang theatre company, to playing on Star Trek and working on "Pirates of the Caribbean," Lee Arenberg has been around, and knows his way around.
