| 11 | !!Tropes applying to Michael Dorn’s roles: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * {{Corpsing}}: If the ''TNG'' gag reels are anything to go by, he is extremely prone to this on set, or was at the time. |
| 14 | * DeadpanSnarker: Dorn added a great deal of humor to Worf's character through subtle variations in tone of voice. |
| 15 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Besides the obvious, he's played [[{{VideoGame/MassEffect2}} Gatatog Uvenk]], [[WesternAnimation/Invincible2021 Battle Beast]] and "[[Series/ReadingRainbow Conan the Librarian]]". |
| 16 | * RoleReprise: He voices Worf in ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' starting with the Season 8 lead-in featured episode "Sphere of Influence". |
| 17 | * TheWorfEffect: Dorn was well aware of the trope before it was named. One of the perks required to tempt him into doing ''[=DS9=]'' was a promise that the writers would stop beating down Worf to demonstrate the strength of the villain du jour. |
