“As much as Dorn liked the action scenes for his character, one of the Worf’s flaws was more compelling to him. “The acting challenge that I adored was the idea that he was really a terrible father,” said Dorn. “He was really bad. Not because he was mean, but he just didn’t get it. He just didn’t know how to how to make it work. That to me was a great challenge. And luckily, they picked up on all of that and wrote some really fantastic stuff for the character, and on into Deep Space Nine.”
Happy birthday Michael Dorn ! ( December 9, 1952 )
“From his first appearance in Star Trek: The Next Generation pilot episode, “Encounter at Farpoint”, to his last in Star Trek: Nemesis, Dorn has appeared more times as a regular cast member than any other actor of the Star Trek franchise, spanning five films and 272 television episodes. He also appeared as Worf’s namesake, Colonel Worf, in the film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Following the end of his Star Trek career, Dorn had supporting roles in a number of independent feature films, including Shadow Hours (2000), Lessons for an Assassin (2001), and the Santa Clause trilogy where he appeared in a cameo role as ‘The Sandman’.
Dorn is also an accomplished pilot and owns and operates a Lockheed T-33 trainer jet, which Dorn jokingly refers to as his ‘starship’. “ (X)
