Mark Allen Shepherd (born 7 January 1961; age 63) is an American actor from Rockville Centre, New York and is best known for his portrayal of Morn, the Lurian freighter captain who frequented Quark's on Deep Space 9, even though his name never appeared in the official credits.

Shepherd received a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. After graduation, he moved to Southern California and studied at the California Institute of the Arts, focusing on music, film, theater, performance, and interdisciplinary arts.

Shepherd is an accomplished artist, and has created numerous abstract impressionist paintings, mixing media types into photo mosaics. In his artwork, he likes exploring abstract concepts as energy, consciousness, perception, and multi-dimensionality. Twenty-three of his works have been used as set dressing on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, including paintings in the quarters of Kira Nerys, Julian Bashir, Jadzia Dax, and Jake Sisko.

Shepherd appeared as Morn in every season of DS9 in heavy makeup, which took nearly two hours to apply. Once in costume, Shepherd was known to spend 14 hours a day filming. Although his character never uttered a word, Morn became a recurring character in the series, and even had an entire episode written about him. (DS9: "Who Mourns for Morn?") Interestingly, Shepherd appeared (sans makeup) in this very episode, asked to take Morn's seat at the bar when Morn is presumed dead.

Shepherd is also a member of Plural Dolt, an absurd music theater group based in Los Angeles.
