#Quote
1[on Reign of Fire (2002)] The only thing I remember about that was the first day. The first A.D. came into the trailer where we were all having our makeup and shit done, and he was, like "Guys, I need your attention, please." And we were, like "Yeah?" And he said, "Um, Mr. McConaughey's gonna arrive on set in about 15 minutes, and I have to give you a directive - which comes from the producers - that you are not to call him 'Matthew' or 'Mr. McConaughey' or anything to do with his real life. You must call him Van Zan." Van Zan was his character name. "And even if you meet him outside in the road, even if you meet him out in town in Dublin," where we were shooting this movie, "You must call him Van Zan." And that is exactly what I remember about that movie, because as that first A.D. left the building, I shouted - rather lamely - "And he's got to call me Elvis!" But he didn't call me Elvis. In fact, he didn't call me anything!
2[on Clash of the Titans (2010)] That was possibly the lamest movie I've ever been in. I mean, you know, there's some times when you do duds, and I must've been rubbish, because I think there was all of one minute more of performance that I may have done that didn't end up in the movie. So 50% of my performance was cut and...yeah, there's not much you can say about that.
3[on his role on Cairo Time (2009)] It was a real treasure, a treat, to find a character, a role, that wasn't intent on trying to blow up the White House or hijack an airplane.
4[on the Arabic people] We're a pretty passionate lot, but we're also incredibly zipped up. We're very sort of guarded, especially in public, and dignity and sense of honour and duty are terribly important.
5I blame Ridley Scott really, because he was the person who went "I love Star Trek and I'd love it if you were in my movie" and people like Oliver Stone went "I hated Star Trek and I don't want you in Alexander (2004)!". I was really lucky there.
6There was a point where I was just going to call myself "uh" because people would walk up to me in the street and say "Hey you're, uh..." That would just make it a lot easier for them. And I could just say "Yes, I am!".
7I aspire to be a director...I think it stems from wanting to be a conductor, another desire of mine from my childhood, though I was not interested in music, not at all. I just wanted to control that orchestra.
#Fact
1Although he is of Sudanese descent and his character in Syriana (2005) speaks it almost exclusively, he does not speak any Arabic in real life.
2Grew up in London.
3Was one of the fan-favourites to play Prince Doran in Game of Thrones (2011). Although he joined the Game of Thrones cast only in 2014, fans have been suggesting his name from as early as 2012, for the role of Doran.
4Acting protégé of Avery Brooks.
5Appeared as a guest at the Ultra Blaze Sci-fi Convention in Ipswich, England on January 31, 2009.
6Attended Collectormania 7 at Milton Keynes and... the premiere of Kingdom of Heaven (2005) in London, England. [May 2005]
7He co-starred with his real-life uncle Malcolm McDowell in the film Doomsday (2008).
8Best known by the public (and by many sci-fi fans) for his role as Dr. Julian Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993).
9His Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) character, Dr. Julian Bashir, has been seen as having similar high moral values as the real-life Middle Eastern Doctor Bashar, featured in Time magazine (2003).
10Ex-son-in-law of Robert Tucker.
11Ex-brother-in-law of Ian Tucker and Zan Charisse.
12Has appeared in two films set in the Middle East: Kingdom of Heaven (2005) and Syriana (2005). In both films, he played a character named Nasir.
13Fellow Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) cast member Andrew Robinson is the godfather of Siddig's son Django.
14Son Django was born around 11 p.m. After spending all night with his son and wife, Siddig went to work at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) the following day at 5:30 a.m. to continuing filming the episode "Let He Who Is Without Sin".
15Cousin of Lilly McDowell and Charlie McDowell.
16He was at one time considered for the role of Benjamin Sisko, the station commander of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993). However, he was apparently considered too young. The role eventually went to Avery Brooks. However, the producers were impressed enough with Siddig and offered him the role of Dr. Julian Bashir.
17One of his uncles (his father's brother) was the Sudanese prime minister. Another one (his mother's brother) is Malcolm McDowell.
18Originally credited as "Siddig El Fadil", he changed his professional name to "Alexander Siddig" because (as reported by him at Star Trek conventions) nobody could pronounce "El Fadil".
19Trained as an actor at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) in London, England.
20Has one son with Nana Visitor: Django El Tahir El Siddig (born September 16, 1996).
