The Actor
J.G Hertzler plays "General Martok" on Deep Space Nine. I wish I could say more about J.G. Hertzler but I have not had the pleasure of meeting him yet! When I do, I will update this page with my insights into the man.
I can say that in an article from Star Trek, Deep Space Nine magazine, Volume 21 that this one statement was what triggered my greater interest in him. He was quoted saying "The Klingons are a race of NFL linebackers with that mentality to life!" From that quote, I was impressed. It is this type of insight that shows that he understands "Klingons". He has a unique history of credits to his acting career. Below is a list (not
guaranteed to be complete):

The Character
General Martok the character has shown a different and unique inspiration to many in Klindom. His great attitude towards duty and honor reinforce these concepts with many fans. It has also shown the aspect that a deformity does not hinder a true warrior.
We also have seen a humorous side to his nature and a confused aspect to the dealings with humans. One of the most unique aspects has been devout showing of love and admiration for his mate! This shows the intense relationship of the of Klingon mating even when distance and time have
separated them. The following is a list of character appearances: not guaranteed to be complete)
