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:
Born in Escondido, Californien. Jon Paul Steuer is only 4 years
old, when he gets his first part in the TV series "Day by Day",
and three years later he appeares in his first movie.
In his spare time he can be very active from hockey on roller
skate, ice hockey, skiing and snow boarding to quiet moments with
computer games and reading. And the belief he has for himself and
what he can do is unbending, as he feels there is nothing he cannot
do. The choice of becomming a special effect man or an actor is
still on debate, but only time can tell.
His most famous part is his guest appearance as Alexander Rozhenko
in the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation", and
this is the first time his character is shown and Worf learns that
he has a son. The actor appeares only in this single episode, because
the character do not return untill an older actor is required. This
actor is Brian Bonsall, and he
has played the character most times. Furthermore the adult Alexander
Rozhenko is played by James Sloyan.
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. Twice is Alexander Rozhenko also
appearing in another Star Trek TV series, "Star Trek: Deep
Space Nine", where he is played by Marc
Worden.
