Like the George Wendt’s rule of Cheers inspired one of the most adorable background characters of Star Trek

Have you ever looked at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine And note that alien from Walrus’ face that is always sitting at the bar, silently breastfeeding a drink? Well, that morning and this silent Barfly space was inspired directly by George WendtLoved rule of character from Greetings.

His name was officially mentioned in the episode of season 1 “Vortex” and Morn was always sitting at the Barr’s Bar. Always drinking. Always … just a little there. Was interpreted by the actor Mark Allen ShepherdAnd it became one of the most captivating recurring presences on Deep Space Nine, accumulating apparitions in 93 episodes.

Second Deep space nine showrunner Ira Steven BehrIn the morning it was intentionally appointed and designed after the standard. While Norm would notice notoriously in applause with enthusiastic shouts of “Norm!” And proceed to launch funny buckets with a lining and wisdom soaked in beer, Il Mattino has quietly occupied the same symbolic role.

Everyone knew him. Everyone had a story about him. The show characters have often described in the morning as a talkative, hilarious and full of gossip … even if we have never heard of it one thing. It was a blissful gag.

Initially nicknamed “The Grinch” from the production crew due to its Seussian look, Morn’s moniker was changed before filming. While his character never got real lines, the writers tried.

Behr admitted that the writers repeatedly made brainstorming of larger roles and real dialogues for the morning, but the showrunners have always cut those scenes before the cameras turned around.

However, Shepherd embraced the character. In an interview spent with Startrek.com, she recalled that she had spent 12 hours in the full makeup of Lurian and that she had improvised small moments against the background of the bar’s scenes.

Although you never talk, in the morning it even presented itself in crossover episodes of The next generation, VoyagerAND Lower decks.

One of his greatest moments arrived in the episode of season 6 “Who cries for the morning?”, Who starts with his death. Or at least so we think. It turns out, the morning falsified his death to eliminate the old criminal partners from a robbery for a long time.

We learn that once he had robbed a bank, swallowed a fortune in Latinum liquid and had hidden him in one of his stomachs. After a little chaos, the morning he returns randomly to the bar, alive and bald (the Latin made him lose his hair), with a embarrassed shrug he says: “What did I miss?”

Shepherd said that the morning actually had lines and recalls the joke he told on the show, saying: “Fink Fink Finalism. Yokefello of the mandatory quotient, cosmological topic of coconut kachina. Banca swallow the history of fish, inculpated minuteman. The final solution.”

Yes, it makes no sense.

The inheritance of the morning lives as one of Star TrekThe most fun Easter eggs and the background gags, a tribute to the norm, to the culture of culture and the idea that sometimes, being there is enough to become a legend.
