STAR TREK: Worf Actor Michael Dorn Speaks Exclusively About His New Sci-Fi Film AGENT REVELATION

Veteran actor Michael Dorn is best known for his legendary portrayal of Worf in Star Trek, and he recently spoke exclusively with us about his newest sci-Fi project releasing this month, Agent Revelation.

While most people know Michael Dorn for playing the character of Worf in Star Trek: The Next Generation, he is a multi-talented veteran when it comes to both acting and flying, having performed on screen for decades in spaceships as well as real-life piloting alongside famous aerobatic teams such as the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds.

Taking to the skies whenever he can, Dorn is also showing his fans that he hasn't left the world of science fiction behind him. While hoping for the chance to return as Worf and even proposing his own chronicles for the character, he recently shot Agent Revelation, a sci-fi film set to release this month.

The film is actually a sequel to Agent Intelligence, but with the movies being separated by a five-hundred-year time-gap, Dorn's character is new to the series. To help promote the new film, he spoke with us in detail about why his character is integral to the plot and what it was about the script that enticed him to return to the sci-fi genre.

"I purposely didn't watch the first Agent; I wanted to take Revelation on its own. I'm an actor, so I looked at my role, and it was very interesting. He was an integral part, which I liked. The script itself was one of those that you never know how the movie will turn out. You never know what people will think about it, but I was at least interested in it. That was the main thing. And it also dealt with what I felt was the idea about greed and right and wrong and loyalty. And where does that strength come from? And I liked that a lot; I added that into my portrayal of the character.

Basically, what I've been doing the last like 15 years is fighting off an alien invasion, which is always what they're trying to do. They're trying to take over by going with a guy that is a billionaire who has all of the resources and connections that can get them in their little tentacles to go out there and to try to turn the planet over to them. And my character falls for it. He's greedy; he's disloyal. They ask him to kill his own son, which is ridiculous. But, now that he's done that, or now that he's part of this, he feels very contrived about it. He really wants to make up for his actions before. And so he's chosen Derrick's character to be the point man to get rid of these godforsaken aliens, as usual."

You can hear our full conversation with actor and pilot Michael Dorn in the podcast player below. Be sure to stay tuned for our upcoming chats about his time on Star Trek: The Next Generation, flying with the Blue Angels, the future of Worf, and plenty more.

*This interview has been edited for clarity.*


 
Jim Yung, a rejected CIA analyst, has been exposed to an ancient 'dust' that transforms him into a super soldier that can communicate with aliens. When a secret organization works with him to discover why aliens have returned to Earth, the truth comes at a price.

Agent Revelation is coming to VOD on January 22, 2021.

@dracula - I'll be releasing that part of the chat within the week. I'm trying a new release schedule focusing on the bits of the conversation by topic, that way fans who like that guest can binge the others with the same guest when they have more time. I'll tag you in that one when it goes up if you like!

I'm rewatching DS9 at the moment, Worf is much better utilized in that than he was in TNG, less so a comic relief character and more of a fully formed character.

God I miss good Trek.

@BigMikeReviews - DS9 was the best Star Trek show. Only one to fully utilize their cast

@BigMikeReviews - I was planning of getting into Star Trek but I don't know where I should begin. Any recommandation (not necessarily THE BEST series from a fan point of view but a good entry-level into the saga) ?

@Amuro - I would start with The Next Gen, can't go wrong with that. First two seasons can sometimes feel like a chore to get through, but once I got to season 3, I was hooked.

ok.
i'm always saying how you should be able to judge a film by it's trailer ALONE.

i watched the trailer for the original Agent Intelligence.
even on a bucket of shrooms, that movie sucks big hairy sweaty donkey nuts.

good luck, mr dorn, but it looks like you made a stinky.
