Titolo: Siddig (Bashir) danneggiato da Star Trek?

http://www.trektoday.com/news/070705_03.shtml
Alexander Siddig discussed his name change, his relationship with ex-wife
and ex-costar Nana Visitor and his film projects at the recent Trek Expo in
London, laughing that Bashir was the only character from his series to have
a hate site on the internet.
At the Trek Expo 2005, Siddig also said that he thought Deep Space Nine was
both relevant to the modern world and "deeply human", and cited among his
least favourite episodes "Profit and Lace", which he directed but labeled
"a stinker" according to a report at his official web site, Sid City.
In answer to a fan question about his connection to Visitor, who played
Kira on DS9 and had a child with Siddig during the show's run, the actor
said that they had remained good friends and he had recently visited her
and his son and stepson in New Mexico where she is filming Michael Piller's
Wildfire, which he recommended to viewers.
Siddig laughed that his relationship with costar Colm Meaney (O'Brian) was
more adversarial, as Meaney is an Irishman and considers Siddig an
Englishman. He related a story in which Meaney took him out to get him
drunk, only to have a bartender tell Siddig that he was not welcome. Siddig
told Meaney that the man was racist, and "Colm calmly replied, 'No, it’s
because you’re English.' He obviously enjoyed taking me to places where
they would hate me. Anyway, eventually our friendship and time spent in
bars off the set ended up being written into the show and they put us in
bars on the set."
Though Meaney played DS9's senior engineer, Meaney was "hopeless with
anything technical" and had to get advice from Walter Koenig (Chekov) on
the use of original series communicators during the episode "Trials and
Tribbleations." Siddig said that over the course of the series he was happy
with his character development, calling the producers brave for creating an
unpopular character whom they then made popular, standing up to the studio
which wanted to get rid of "the nerd, geek, jerk."
"Sid", who went by the name Siddig El Fadil during his first several years
on the series before changing his name to Alexander Siddig, said that in
his experience, the Arab world does not consider the Sudan to be Arabic,
but the African world does not consider the Sudan to African, so he may be
considered either Arabic or African, or neither. He found that people had
trouble pronouncing "Siddig El Fadil" and changed it to something western
to honour his mother, deeming the name Alexander "pre-religious".
Ironically, Siddig was offered a part in the recent film Alexander, only to
have the offer withdrawn when director Oliver Stone discovered that he had
been on Star Trek. Ridley Scott, who cast Siddig a few weeks later in
Kingdom of Heaven, fortunately considered having been on Star Trek an
asset. He joked that his character's genetic enhancements were based on his
own, and reacted with horror when told that Bashir and Ezri had divorced in
the novels based on Deep Space Nine.
Siddig also talked about his upcoming film Syriana and his desire to work
with his uncle Malcolm McDowell, who is of course infamous among Star Trek
fans as the man who killed Captain Kirk.

molto furbo, Oliver Stone :-)
che poi... che ruolo avrà potuto essere?
Visto l'aspetto, penso che gli avrebbe offerto la parte di Dario, re
dei persiani...
ma non sia mai un  ex-attore di Star Trek!
e infatti...
ha preso Raz Degan, eh!
Stone è proprio andato.. del resto è convinto di aver fatto un
capolavoro che gli hanno boicottato

Facile dire che Star trek ti ha danneggiato quando la serie a cui 
partecipavi è finita e un film si vedrà con il binocolo.
Bah?! Patetico.
