Michael Dorn

Born: 9 December 1952
Where: Luling, Texas, USA

Dorn's claim to fame is his association with Star Trek and he's appeared on-screen in more Star Trek episodes and movies as the same character, than anyone.

The actor plays Worf, the first Klingon warrior to serve in the Federation Starfleet.

After serving seven years on the U.S.S. Enterprise on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Worf was brought to Deep Space Nine by Captain Benjamin Sisko to act as a diplomatic liaison with the Klingons.

He's spent most of his career with the Star Trek posse, and another hefty amount of time in make up everyday, as it took an hour and a half of tweaking and prosthetics to create the other-worldly Worf.

But before he got involved with Star Trek, Dorn had an active TV career, most notably as Officer Jed Turner on the popular NBC series CHiPS and he also guest starred in many primetime series including Knots Landing and Falcon Crest.

His other recent film work includes The Prophet Man (1999) with Dennis Hopper and a part in Shade (2003) with Sylvester Stallone and Melanie Griffith.
