Dr. Bashir on 24?
As I was watching the four-hour season premiere of 24, I couldn't stop thinking that the possibly former terrorist who Jack saved from being blown to smithereens looked really really really familiar. So tonight I looked up who's playing Assad and it's Alexander Siddig (aka Siddig El Fadil) who was Doctor Julian Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Now that was a great show. Worf. Dax. Kira. The list goes on.
Turns out he's also in Kingdom of Heaven which I had just watched on Saturday. No wonder he seemed so familiar!
Check out his birthname: Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abderahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim El Mahdi. I'm not joking. Poor kid.
His name is my name too, whenever we go out, the people always shout, "There goes Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abderahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim El Mahdi".....

ReplyDeleteIs Buddageek a long lost relative of ours?
ReplyDeleteRelative, yes. Long-lost, not so much. Read more of his comments and you'll be able to tell who he is.
