While the scene itself was not used due to the puppet mouth issue, Shepherd was asked to come back as a regular extra.Īfter a few background appearances, he was given the name Morn, the name itself being a reference to the character of Norm from the TV sitcom Cheers, another large guy who would be found, reliably, at the bar, as though he were part of the scenery there. What he delivered was complete nonsense, but the way he delivered the lines, with confidence and force, caught the eye of the director. Shepherd was then asked to step in, and the director positioned him at the bar, and asked him to tell the funniest joke in the universe as the camera panned over him.

He sat there and waited, and when nobody came to get him, he decided to wander down to set and see what was happening. When Shepherd arrived on set for the first time, answering a casting call for extras, he was fitted with the Morn suit and prosthetic, which at this point was referred to as the ‘Grinch alien mask,’ and was asked to wait until he was needed on set. While he became a great addition to the character of Quark's Bar, Morn's appearance was somewhat fate.
