Armin doesn’t look that much shy of 5’6” in the above pic!
He certainly ain’t 7 inches shorter than Rob!

He looked 5’4” range on Seinfeld, weirdly enough. Click Here
But I’m sure he isn’t really that short as he looks 5’5.5” w/ Rob here.

⭐ There's a song by psychedelic rock group Hawkwind called 'Quark, Strangeness and Charm'.
Whenever I hear it, I can't help but think of this little fellow!

🎂🎁 Happy 7️⃣0️⃣th Birthday Armin! 🎁🎂
Wishing my favourite Ferengi a happy, food-filled BIG 7-0!
⭐ In case you're not in the know, Ferengis are extremely fond of food, and they love having their ears tickled! Hence Quark the amorous Ferengi works as a cook. 🍱😋
⭐ The Ferengis are a short, huge-eared alien race, and are very materialistically-minded! 🤑
5ft5.5. 😁👍🥞🍰🎂

Maybe I missed something but from what I saw, Armin is the only celebrity with whom Jenny's photo is from 2005. Rob, was he the first celebrity you or Jenny met in person and took a photo together?

Rob, why did he claim 5'1 1/8"? Was it just a joke to emphasize the fact that he's short?

I think I've come across this guy maybe a dozen times now, in stores, at the theater, walking on the street. I'd peg him at 5'5'' maximum.

Editor Rob he pretty much is 5ft 5 at least recently I saw him and thought that, whether he has lost a bit of height?

He looked much shorter on Buffy - shorter even than Alyson Hannigan, who couldn't have been taller than 5'3"-5'4" at the time.

5ft5.5 is quite tall for a Ferengi. Aron Eisenberg is only 5ft0.
