American rock singer (born 1947), frontman of The Stooges, who guest starred as the weary Vorta negotiator Yelgrun in the Deep Space Nine episode The Magnificent Ferengi.
Iggy Pop is an American singer and songwriter, best known as the frontman of The Stooges and for solo records such as The Idiot and Lust for Life. He has also taken occasional acting roles.
In the sixth-season Deep Space Nine episode The Magnificent Ferengi he plays Yelgrun, a dry and unimpressed Vorta sent by the Dominion to Empok Nor to exchange Quark's captured mother Ishka for the prisoner Keevan.
The deal goes wrong when the Ferengi accidentally kill Keevan, and Yelgrun ends the episode as their prisoner. The producers, who admired his music, had tried to cast him in an earlier episode before he was available.
