Alexander Siddig - A brief career history
Sid's career must be viewed as still being in its very early stages! His principal roles have been: The Big Battalions - a six part mini-series made for Channel 4 in which Sid played Yussef, a young Palestinian.
A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia - this was a British made for TV film which won the International Emmy for best drama in 1992. Sid took the role of Feisal, playing opposite Ralph Fiennes as T.E. Lawrence.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - as if you needed to be told Sid plays Doctor Julian Bashir. Here he is resplendent in Klingon bachelor party wear! (photo copyright Paramount and no infringement is intended)
