Worf is a fictional character in the Star Trek franchise. He appears
in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) and
seasons four through seven of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9) as well
as the feature films Star Trek Generations (1994), Star Trek: First
Contact (1996), Star Trek: Insurrection (1998), and Star Trek: Nemesis
(2002). Worf is the first Klingon main character to appear in Star
Trek, and in 11 seasons as a regular character on TNG and then DS9,
has appeared in more Star Trek franchise episodes than any other
character. He is portrayed by actor Michael Dorn.Initially, Worf was
not intended to be a regular character, as Gene Roddenberry wanted to
avoid "retreads of characters or races featured prominently in the
original Star Trek series". Accordingly, a cast portrait released in
June 1987 to promote the upcoming series did not include Worf. Several
"tall, slim, black actors" auditioned for Worf before Michael Dorn
came along, walking into the audition with his usual intolerant,
superiority complex. This was taken as Dorn being "in character" Not
only did the Worf character become a regular on The Next Generation,
he was continued on the Deep Space Nine series for four more seasons
(1995-99) and talk of a spin-off Worf show continued even into the
2010s.He made his debut in 1987 in "Encounter at Farpoint", and last
appeared in character in 2002. Dorn as Worf made 282 on-screen
appearances, the most of any actor in the Star Trek franchise. Worf Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
