Michael Dorn
( Jebediah Turner ( ~3-5) Born:
December 9, 1952 in Luling, Texas.
From The Biography
A long-time "Star Trek" fan,
Michael Dorn plays Lieutenant Worf, a Klingon graduate of
the Starfleet Academy. "Playing Worf has been an incredible
opportunity for me as an actor. The challenge has been having
to overcome the make-up and physical barriers of this role,
to develop a strong and forthright character," Michael
says.
During the sixth season, Michael guest-starred
opposite Telma Hopkins and Cindy Williams in ABC's "Getting
By." After completing production on the series' fourth
season, Michael donned yet another Klingon head, that of Lt.
Worf's grandfather in the feature film release "Star
Trek VI." In doing so, Michael became the first "Next
Generation" cast member to work with the cast of the
original series in a "Star Trek" feature.
Michael has also guest-starred on several
major series, most notably "Hotel," "Knots
Landing" and "Falcon Crest." He has had recurring
roles on "Days of Our Lives" and "Capitol."
His feature film credits include 'Demon Seed," the original
"Rocky," and "Jagged Edge."
Born in Luling, Texas, and raised in
Pasadena, California, Michael performed in a rock band during
high school and college. His first appearance on television
was as a guest star on the series "W.E.B.," a show
based on the hit film "Network." Impressed with
Michael's work, the producer of the show introduced him to
an agent and Michael began studying with Charles Conrad. Six
months later, Michael landed a job in the popular series "CHiPs,"
where he spent three years as a regular cast member.
During the show's first season hiatus,
Michael pursued a long-time dream: He took flying lessons
and earned his pilot's license. Since then, Michael has flown
with the Blue Angels and participated in the flight manoeuvres
of an F-16 with some of the nation's Top Guns. Michael currently
owns his own jet.
Dorn: on his favorite episodes...``My
two favorite episodes are The Drumhead, it was a goodcourtroom
drama, and Firstborn, Because in it I was able to do everything
I ever wanted to as Worf. The episode has drama, danger and
sensitivity.''
In addition to Amanda & the Alien,
Dorn has also recently starred in "Timemaster,"
a feature for SGE, and "Menno's Mind," also for
Jon Kroll. He is also the new host of the Discovery Channel's
popular series "World of Wonder."
His acting and voice-over work leave
little leisure time, but what he has, he spends in his twin-engine
military training jet, a T-33 he flies to air shows around
the country and uses as the ultimate private getaway.
