He sought to live his life with integrity and truth. He was so driven to put the best he had into whatever work was put before him... Even if I didn't want to hear it and even if the truth was inconvenient.
He made me (and still makes me) want to be the best human I can possibly be, because he always strove to be the best human he could be."
Eisenberg played Nog in 'Deep Space Nine', the first Ferenghi in Starfleet and a close friend of Benjamin Sisko's son, Jake, played by Cirroc Lofton. The two actors remained friends after the show ended, and in the past couple of years, hosted a podcast together.
Eisenberg was also active on the convention circuit, and was working as a professional photographer before his death.
