Personal Quote:

[About his role on Cairo Time] 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. See more »

Trivia:

He was at one time considered for the role of Benjamin Sisko, the station commander of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. 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. See more »
