To answer your question Morn is a...*flips through "The Making of ST:DS9"*
..a Lurian.

Undoubtedly a species which requires large amounts of alcohol for
sustinence. They had better NEVER kill off Morn. :-)
Darn skippy, If morn left
I'd quit the show

I believe in one episode Quark mentioned that he is a citizen of "The
Niberite (sp?) Alliance" (I believe he even mentioned the planet Niberite
by name), the same political entity that Worf briefly considered joining
when he was going to leave Starfleet. ( so what would you call him? A
Niberitian? *shrug*)

Excuse me if this has been brought up before, but anyone
ever notice that 'Morn' is an anagram for 'Norm'? I can see
it now:
<Morn enters Quark's bar>
Everyone: "MORN!"
<Station's postmaster walks by>
Postmaster: "Y'know, it's a little known fact that Cardassians..."
etc.

A related question: Has it always been the same actor inside the Morn
get-up?
And a question related to that: How do you audition for a role such as
Morn? "Okay, each of you guys spend several hours putting on make-up and
then just sit down doing nothing for another few hours, and we'll make
a decision..."

Yep. Ever since episode 1, season 1.

Actually, he was just one of many extras for "Emmissary," and happened
to get to wear the Morn suit. They just chose at random, not knowing
that Morn would become one of the more popular background characters.
Later, he became a semi-regular, seeing as Morn evolved into the local
bar sloth.

That's why he was named that in the first place. As an ever-present
barfly intended to be scenery for Quarks, there were early comparisons
to the characters of Cheers.

Hope this for once and all clears up the misinformation that Morn has some
stupid and idiotic connection with any Earth television program set in
Boston, USA.
This is OFFICIAL:
He is from the R'stul faction of a race called Chirs'Ba. His race, while
generally silent and contemplative, call themselves by race-faction,
therefor Chirs'BaR'stul. They form into unions with the females in thier
faction. These females they call Vee'Ra. What is unusual about Morn is
that they generally form an attachement to unofficial Multi-Information
Symbiotics. These symbiotics are call Po'Stal Cleefs. The Cleefs are
endangered, as they are hunted without mercy by Kar of the La clan.
Humbly submitted,

Something tells me someone will actually believe this... :-) Very funny,
none-the-less!

Your right, I found this out from Armin Shimerman (Quark) at a
conference. He also said that it is unlikely that we will ever hear
Morn speak, this is due to the fact that Paramount would have to pay him
4 times more than what he is getting at the moment, and as his
popularity is so great now, they believe it would not be a profitable
option.

Here's how I understand it...
The NAME Morn is a anagram of George Wendt's character Norm from
Cheers. Just the NAME... A little Star Trek production staff joke.

1 Morn is a Lurian from far away. btw, klingons do not seem to like
lurians.
2 he has a Big family - wives, many children.
3 he really likes vole "chicken" fights.
4 he has dated Dax.
5 he has run Quarks bar when Quark was gone - Quark figured Morn
would drink less in value than others would steal in latinum....
6 he is supposed to talk ones ear off, given half a chance.
7 he went berserk in Quark's bar, beat up Quark, then ran out naked
into the Promanade screaming "we are all going to die!" and
collapsed in the bajoran Temple - after Quark had discusssed the
Dominion situation with Morn. [i wish we could have seen that!]
8 he is lousy at darts.
there is as yet no known Morn web site.

Makes me recall that episode earlier in the season, in which Quark actually
prompted him to open up and say what was bugging him. Morn opened his
mouth...and Quark was suddenly distracted by something else and left him
there. I laughed well into the commercial break.
BTW, anyone know what episode that was?

I can see it now...
Morn actor talking to friends and family: I'm on Star Trek guys!!! I
play a very popular character!
Friends: Yeah, right, how come we never see you?
Morn actor: Because I wear a lot of makeup!
Family: Enough makeup so we don't recognize you?
Morn actor: Yeah, I play Morn!
Friends and Family: But he doesn't do anything except SIT there!!
What's so great about that?
Morn actor: But he's a very popular character!
and so on...

there is a Morn fan club I read about somewhere. They are trying to get
him a speaking role. I got his autograph at a show in Houston. He is a
nice man really.
