Born to a Jewish family on 6th January 1969 in Hollywood, California. He arrived in this world with only one functioning kidney, which ultimately failed when he was fourteen. This life-limiting condition was the reason he only reached five feet in height. He received his first kidney transplant at the age of seventeen. In August 2015 he was once again diagnosed with kidney failure and on 29th December 2015, he received a second kidney transplant.
Aron appeared in several TV shows and movies including Tales From The Crypt, Amityville: The Evil Escapes, Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, The Wonder Years and General Hospital. He had a repeating guest star role in the ‘90s TV series The Secret World of Alex Mack. He was also seen on stage in theatre productions such as The Indian Wants The Bronx, Minor Demons and On Borrowed Time. He occasionally directed for the theatre as well.

Eisenberg in Star Trek: Voyager.
He is best known, however, for his portrayal of Nog, son of Rom and nephew of Quark, in 47 episodes of Deep Space Nine between 1993 and 1999. He also guest-starred as a Kazon youth, called Kar, in an episode of Voyager called "Initiations". He was a regular guest at Star Trek conventions; I had the pleasure of meeting him at DST Birmingham in 2018; he was utterly charming and his loss means the world of Star Trek has lost one of its brightest lights. He is survived by his wife, actress Malissa Longo, and his two sons, Christopher and Nicholas. Our thoughts are with them at this desperately sad and difficult time.
His wife announced Eisenberg's passing in the early hours of September 22nd.
