The contradiction between what we were playing and reality is this: Oftentimes we worked until two or three in the morning. We’re not the only company still shooting, but, yeah, we’re late. Cars are going through the gate, the arm comes down. There’s a line of cars. Then when I get there, the gate comes down and security says to me, “Open your trunk.” I said, “No. Why? All these other cars just … Why? What do you think I have in this Volkswagon Rabbit? What’s in there, the Defiant?” What I’m trying to say is that the contradiction, or the paradox of it all, we can’t get away from. You see what I mean? I wish sometimes that were true; that the fact I played Sisko would make some kind of difference on the street. No, only on the screen. The contradictions are evident. They are inescapable in a way.”

Writers, artists, cosplayers - Curious about how writers thought Garak’s physique looked? Here are pics of his torso padding - which indicate a very deep and broad rib cage. Photos of original props sold at auction, came from yourprops.com.
Sid displaying the shirt he was forced to wear under Bashir’s uniform to augment his shoulders and chest. I kid you not. I believe this was auctioned off, so someone out there actually owns it now.
I WAS wondering how came he look much buffier insome scenes than others! And when he’s on Risa, he looks just so skimpy suddenly (and cute). I think it was kind of ridiculous to buff him up.
Siddig was not the only actor who had to have his figure enhanced. Many of these foundational garments have survived and ended up on auction sites :)
