I always assumed it was due to the Ferengi's particularly sensitive ears (or in this case, the inner ear).

Both of them have awesome occupations/skills/etc, with interesting backstories and

Which brings to mind one of my questions every time I see this episode (albeit one only tangentially related to this thread): how could the Federation cede the station over to the Klingons? The Bajorans own the station, and they've signed a treaty with the Cardassians. Additionally, the station is awfully close to

The funny thing about his performance here (and which may be mentioned elsewhere in the 600+ comments below) is that it's the second take, after his first attempt was deemed "too goddamn frightening". From the DS9C, everyone collectively crapped their pants from his first run-through and had him tone it back a bit,

According to the Companion, the writers felt that the rebellion was "logical, therefore we needed a Vulcan as part of the resistance" or something to that effect. Tuvok was the only recognizable one still active, so he fit the bill and they tossed him in.
