Elim Garak is a Cardassian politician and member of the Detapa Council.

It’s him! It’s Garak~~~

Alive and well in Star Trek Online. Greying and chubby, bless his heart. Look at him, he’s awful~~~~~~

I’m curious about the green scales on the neck. What’s happening there, do you think?

“I feel like the best way to earn Garak’s respect is to either pull a gun on him or literally try to kill him. It won’t work, ever, but he’ll appreciate the effort.”

this is such a good

This was the first appearance of Andrew Robinson as Elim Garak in the series. Garak would eventually become an important recurring character, making his final appearance in the series finale “What You Leave Behind”. Getting his characterization right was important to both the crew and the actor himself. Of the origins of the character, producer Peter Allan Fields says that “we needed a Cardassian who didn’t act like one, so I finally put him in a tailor shop, and nobody hit me, so we kept him there.” Director Winrich Kolbe says of the performance that “we agreed that Andy could push the envelope, but he couldn’t leave the Cardassian platform. We had long talks about wardrobe and makeup, but we also talked about attitude, so that he would retain that stiffness that you see in all Cardassians.” Finally, Andrew Robinson himself says of the character, “he’s all subtext. If a smart guy like Garak says that he’s ‘plain and simple’, you realize that he’s not plain and not simple. And that there is a lot going on. Regardless of how innocuous or simple each line is, there’s always something going on underneath that belies the line. And his eyes and the tone of his voice say something different than the words he’s speaking. It’s not an easy thing to work with subtext, but when you do it well, you really get people’s attention.” (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)

  • JedLeland: I have heard that you had originally envisioned Garak as gay, but that the producers were somewhat uneasy with the idea, hence the relationship with Ziyal (I recently started reading A Stitch in Time and was overjoyed to see you early on mentioning Garak's attraction to another man). As a bisexual, I would have loved to have seen a serious depiction of a gay or bi character in the franchise (Mirror Kira, while fun and possessing her own interesting idiosyncracies, is a little too campy to quite fit the bill). Do you have any further thoughts on Garak's sexual identity and how it was (or wasn't) handled on the show?
  • AndrewJRobinson: For me playing Garak, it was never about being straight or gay. It was about having the kind of sexual appetite that doesn't exclude possibility. Who knows where we - sexuality! - is going. It's changing even as we speak. Thanks for joining the conversation.
