Talk:Alexander Siddig

message: This is what I've found:
* "Siddig cuts a compelling figure as a British-educated Arab royal whose breaks with tradition prove far too "progressive" for long-standing vested interests.": Variety review
* "Mr. Siddig's icy mastery" NYT review
* "Alexander Siddig, who, in neat shorthand strokes, deftly defines a character who's both glamorous and principled" Salon.com review
* "Strong performances by Damon and Siddig" Akron Beacon-Journal review
* "splendid Alexander Siddig" Philadelphia Inquirer review
* "Siddig has the steely-eyed confidence of a veteran movie star" Seattle Times review
Next question: why I put this much effort into the search. :) --Diogenes00 23:04, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: 2 Mohammmeds, a Hezbollah, & a Hamas? I suppose someone could name a kid "Hamas" ("zeal") but "Hezbollah" ("Party of God") isn't even a proper personal name. Vandalism. Ventifax 00:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig El Abderahman El Mohammed Ahmed El Abdel Karim El Mahdi is his full name. You can find it in his official biography at [SidCity.net]. MelSidCity 22:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  "Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig El Abderahman El Mohammed Ahmed El Abdel Karim El Mahdi" is correct.  —  pd_THOR | =/\= | 22:14, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

text: The literal transcription is Ṣiddīq, but q is pronounced as [ɡ] in many dialects, that's where the spelling Siddig comes from. His full name, in scientific transcription, is Ṣiddīq aṭ-Ṭāhir al-Fāḍil aṣ-Ṣiddīq ʿAbd ur-Raḥman Muḥammad ʾAḥmad ʿAbd ul-Karīm al-Mahdī. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 21:47, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: Maybe I am just looking too much here, but isn't it interesting to see what seems to me to be a striking ressemblance betweem Siddig, and James Callis? And the fact that one is Arab, and the other Jewish, is even much cooler, and oh so ironic... on many levels Themalau 13:03, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, both Jews/Hebrews and Arabs are semitic peoples, so why couldn't they play each other (just as Italians could play Spaniards and vice-versa)99.103.228.211 (talk) 18:16, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

text: I have to admit that I came to these two pages seeking commentary on them NOT being the same person living two different lives as I had thought when I was told they were different people. Perhaps that isn't interesting enough to create a section (or at least a link) on both actor's pages, but I certainly thought it was. JayM (talk) 14:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I don't think it's unusual at all, being both British its likely they have a common ancestor somewhere down the line...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.69.141.108 (talk) 04:00, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

message: No mention of the episode of Poirot that he starred in with David Suchet?00:32, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Poirot

message: I think that disassociating remarks Siddig made about directing should be included.  For non-Trekkies, Paramount, in spite of plummeting ratings and fan votes, have a history of making really awful Ferengi 'joke' episodes, which Quark's actor, Armin Shimerman, is not at all pleased about.  When Siddig directed "Business As Usual", an actually touching episode regarding Quark and Jadzia's friendship, and Quark's sense of ethics, Siddig actually listened to what Shimerman says about his character.  Paraborg was not pleased, so in "Profits and Lace", it reverted back into idiocy, that Siddig himself was most displeased about.  Without explanation, "Profit and Lace" listed as a directing work of Siddig, just makes him look really bad...isn't it enough that his name attached to that thing has already killed the directing career he wanted in the first place?

thread_title:  Directing 

message: I made a slight change to the text where it mentions his involvement with Kim Cattral, replacing the words "fellow Sex and the City alum" with "Fellow Star Trek alum" as his filmography and television listing doesn't mention him being in Sex and the City.  Kim was in Star Trek though... so this line makes more sense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.69.141.108 (talk) 03:57, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Is Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abderrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim El Mahdi really the most well-known name this actor is known under? --Cameron Scott (talk) 21:53, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
