The latest issue of STAR TREK Magazine, out in the UK, features an exclusive interview with STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION actor Michael Dorn (Worf), in which he talks about his career and future projects. Here are a few excerpts.
"I've not been as busy as I've wanted to be since STAR TREK NEMESIS," he told journalist Ian Spelling. "You want to be very busy. Every actor wants to be busier. But what happens is my career is taking a path and I don't know where it's going to end up. I'm still acting. I'm still doing parts. Most of the parts I'm getting these days are happening because people are calling me up and saying, 'Hey Michael, I'd really love you to do this. I'd love you to do that.'
"I'm also trying to take the path into directing," he continues, "and I'm pushing a little bit harder on that one than I am on the acting, I guess. I'm going from single-camera, which is what I started out doing thanks to STAR TREK, and I'm now trying to pursue sitcoms, which is multi-camera. I'm out in New York a couple of times a year shadowing Don Scardino, a director on ABC's HOPE & FAITH. We have a really good time together.
"I like sitcoms a lot. It's like doing a small play every week. You have an audience. You get reaction from the audience. You rehearse it and put it up there and you're on your way. It's also so fast. One week or so and you're done."
Dorn also provided voices for several documentaries and animated shows, including an episode of FAMILY GUY which was a STAR TREK-themed episode that also featured Patrick Stewart (story). "It comes and goes, the voiceover work," Dorn says. "I have a wonderful voiceover agent, who I've been with for 10 or 12 years now. I'll do a voiceover about once a month, and they're really good jobs. I just did a show for the National Geographic Channel. It was about what kind of life we might find on Mars or in a different universe. I did another documentary, EARTHLINGS: UGLY BAGS OF MOSTLY WATER [about the Klingon language and culture]."
