Question by reedy.

Answer: Iggy Pop

The Federation had taken another Vortam, Keevan, prisoner in the episode "Rocks And Shoals".

Unfortunately, the Ferengi accidentally killed Keevan before the trade could be made.

Ira Steven Behr (writer/producer) was a big Iggy Pop fan and was keen for him to take the role of Yelgun, the Vorta who came to conduct the exchange on behalf of the Dominion.
