He later appeared on L.A. Law (with Corbin Bernsen and Larry Drake), Who’s the Boss?, Alien Nation (with Gary Graham, Eric Pierpoint, and Michele Scarabelli), and married…with children. 

During the first season of Brooklyn Bridge (1991-92), he was a regular as Uncle Bernie.

He is likely best recognized outside of Star Trek for his recurrent roles as Principal Snyder on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dr. Nefarious in Ratchet & Clank.

An intriguing fact about his character in that series is that he was slain by a transformed Mayor Wilkins, played by Trek guest star Harry Groener.

Shrimerman has also appeared as a guest on Stargate SG-1, Ally McBeal, The Practice, Sliders, Charmed, The West Wing, ER, Nip/ Tuck, and Warehouse 13.

He appeared in a Seinfeld episode alongside Star Trek: Voyager guest star Jason Alexander.

Shimerman also voiced several characters in BioWare’s Mass Effect in 2007, alongside Marina Sirtis, Raphael Sbarge, and Dwight Schultz. 

Shimerman’s main character may also appear in the game’s sequel, which also stars Michael Dorn, Robin Sachs, and Keith Szarabajka, depending on player choices.

He also provided the voice of Andrew Ryan in the 2007 video game Bioshock. 

The producers of the game declined to disclose who voiced this character before the game’s release, simply indicating that “we wouldn’t believe it”.

Shimerman’s voice for Ryan was revealed just after the game’s release. 

Several people in gaming were astonished by this, because Ryan had a very low voice, which was unlike anything Shimerman had demonstrated in other mediums.

J.G. Hertzler, Shimerman’s regular DS9 co-star, also voiced a character in the game, and Shimerman and Hertzler returned their roles in the 2010 sequel, BioShock 2.
