==Early life==
Dorn was born in [[Luling, Texas]], the son of Allie Lee (née Nauls) and Fentress Dorn Jr.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~battle/celeb/dorn.htm |title=Michael Dorn Family Tree |publisher=Freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com |access-date=17 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160625111220/http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~battle/celeb/dorn.htm |archive-date=June 25, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>{{better|date=March 2024}} He grew up in [[Pasadena, California]], where he studied radio and television production at [[Pasadena City College]]. Following his graduation, he pursued a career in music as a performer with several different rock-music bands, traveling to San Francisco and then back to Los Angeles.{{fact|date=March 2024}}

==Career==
===Early work===
Dorn first appeared on-screen in ''[[Rocky]]'', in an uncredited role as [[Apollo Creed]]'s bodyguard.<ref name=Trek>{{cite web |url=http://www.startrek.com/database_article/dorn |title=Star Trek Database – Dorn, Michael |work=Star Trek Database |publisher=CBS Entertainment |access-date=December 10, 2011}}</ref> Two years later, he appeared as a guest star on a 1978 episode of the television show ''[[W.E.B.]]''. Impressed by his work, the show's producer introduced Dorn to an agent, through whom he met acting teacher [[Charles E. Conrad]]. Dorn studied with Conrad for six months, until he landed a regular role on the crime drama series ''[[CHiPs]]''.<ref name=Trek/>

Dorn's most notable role to date is that of the [[Klingon]] [[Starfleet]] officer Lieutenant (later Lt. Commander) [[Worf]] in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]''. Dorn was the last of the main actors to be cast in ''The Next Generation'', and prepared for his audition by isolating himself from the other actors and remaining taciturn through his interview, mimicking the personality of the character.<ref name="charting">{{cite AV media notes |title=[[Star Trek: The Next Generation#DVD|Selected Crew Analysis: Casting]]|others=Michael Dorn (actor) |type=DVD |publisher=Paramount|year=2002}}</ref> His character proved so popular amongst fans that Dorn was added to the cast of spin-off series ''Deep Space Nine'' in an effort to boost ratings.<ref name="greenwald">{{cite book |last=Greenwald |first=Jeff |author-link=Jeff Greenwald |title=Future Perfect: How Star Trek Conquered Planet Earth |date=1998 |publisher=Viking |isbn=978-0-670-87399-9 |location=New York |page=[https://archive.org/details/futureperfecthow00gree/page/79 79] |chapter=Worf Factors |quote=Dorn plays the immensely popular Worf ...

Their answer was to make Worf a part of the cast.</ref>

Dorn (as Worf) has the record for the most on-screen appearances of any ''Star Trek'' character. As Worf, he appeared in 175 episodes of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' (missing only the episodes "[[Code of Honor (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Code of Honor]]", "[[Haven (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Haven]]", and "[[Shades of Gray (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Shades of Gray]]"), 102 episodes of ''Deep Space Nine'', four ''Star Trek'' movies, and seven episodes of ''[[Star Trek: Picard]]'', bringing his total to 288 appearances as the character. He also appeared as Worf's ancestor, Colonel Worf, in the 1991 film ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]'' and directed the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episodes "[[In the Cards]]", "[[Inquisition (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)|Inquisition]]", and "[[When It Rains...]]", and the ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' episode "[[Two Days and Two Nights]]".

He was one of six actors to reprise his role, in voiceover, for the ''Star Trek: Captain's Chair'' virtual reality game. In 2014, he participated in the fan-produced ''Star Trek'' episode "[[Fairest of Them All]]", giving his voice to the computer of the [[Mirror Universe]] ''Enterprise''.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Sloan|first1=Sam|title=Star Trek Continues: Fairest Of Them All – A Slice of SciFi Review|url=http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2014/06/15/star-trek-continues-fairest-of-them-all-a-slice-of-scifi-review/|website=[[Slice of SciFi]]|date=June 16, 2014 |access-date=November 23, 2014}}</ref>

In 2012, Dorn announced a desire to return to his Klingon role in a television series tentatively titled ''Star Trek: Captain Worf''. He said: <blockquote>I had come up with the idea because I love [Worf] and I think he's a character that hasn't been fully developed and hasn't been fully realized. Once I started thinking about it, it became obvious to me that I wanted to at least put it out there, which I have, and the response has been pretty amazing. We've been contacted by different individuals–I can't say who and all that–about wanting to come on board and be part of this.<ref>{{cite web|last=Schaefer|first=Sandy|url=http://screenrant.com/star-trek-captain-worf-tv-show-michael-dorn/|title=Michael Dorn Confirms He's Working on a 'Star Trek: Captain Worf' TV Series|work=Screen Rant|publisher=IndieClick Film Network|access-date=May 13, 2013|date=September 4, 2012}}</ref></blockquote>

In April 2022, it was announced that he would reprise his role as Worf in the third season of ''Star Trek: Picard'', which aired in 2023.<ref>{{cite web |last=Petski |first=Denise |title='Star Trek: Picard': LeVar Burton & Michael Dorn Among 6 'Next Generation' Alums Joining Third & Final Season |url=https://deadline.com/2022/04/star-trek-picard-levar-burton-michael-dorn-next-generation-cast-third-final-season-1234994775/ |website=Deadline |access-date=April 5, 2022 |date=April 5, 2022}}</ref>

Top luminaries like [[Stan Lee]] and [[Leonard Nimoy]], [[Spock|Mr. Spock]] himself, have received this top honor. It's not new, but we extended this award to cover the entire cast of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', due to its continued influence on the face of general television. It was originally doomed to failure since it was following in the footsteps of [[Star Trek: The Original Series|the original ''Star Trek'']], yet it carved its own identity, and its diverse cast was light years ahead of its time!" —[[Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films]]<ref name=TrekMovie/>}}
