 Michael Dorn as Worf on Star Trek: The Next Generation Worf (wo'rIv in the Klingon language) is a Klingon in the Star Trek fictional universe. This character appears in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and in movies based upon The Next Generation series. Worf is played by actor Michael Dorn.
The character was the first regular Klingon character to appear in Star Trek and has also appeared in more Star Trek episodes than any other character.
As a child, Worf was adopted by a human couple, the Rozhenkos, therefore his legal name is Worf Rozhenko, however he never uses it. His son, Alexander Rozhenko, does however. The Rozhenkos raised Worf on the small farm planet Gault, a world of about 20,000 inhabitants, almost all of them humans (DS9, "Let He Who Is Without Sin").
Worf is the son of Mogh and the grandson of Colonel Worf. His parents are deceased. His brother Kurn's memory was erased, and Kurn is currently living with his father's friend Lorgh.
