James Sloyan
24 February 1940 -

Alexander Rozhenko
&
doctor Mora Pol
[guest appearance]

About the character:
Alexander is born in 2366 as the son of K'Ehleyr and Worf, the mother K’Ehleyr half klingon half human, and the father Worf only klingon. Worf do not know he has a son before K'Ehleyr visits the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D ("Reunion" (81)).

Alexander has his first name Rozhenko after his fathers foster parents, two humans, and that fits with his wishes to become more human than klingon. A thought, that surely is fed by the mother that did not like the klingon rituals and way of living, which she found brutal and violent. When the mother dies ("Reunion" (81)), he is to live with his father who wants Alexander to live by the klingon laws, rituals and norms. In those situations, when they cannot solve their problems, ships counsellor Deanna Troi is to help them move on.

But at the end it is still too much for Worf to take, and he lets his foster parents to bring up the boy on Earth ("Family" (76)), which they do until they no longer can control him ("New Ground" (110)).

About the actor:
James Sloyan has made guest appearances in quite a few known and popular TV series such as "Cannon", "MacGyver", and "Murder, She Wrote", and has several times appeared in a Star Trek TV series. His most prominent character in Star Trek context is his acting as the adult version of Alexander Rozhenko, who has travelled back in time to save himself from the unfavourable choice he made by choosing the human path.

Also Jon Paul Steuer and Brian Bonsall has appeared as Alexander Rozhenko, only as younger versions of the character, and the last mentioned has appeared as it most times. Twice is Alexander Rozhenko also appearing in another Star Trek TV series, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", where he is played by Marc Worden. The character Alexander was created to give the Worf character a depth and to make it possible to show a klingon facade which not previously has been seen before.
