Personal life[edit] Career[edit] Siddig's performance in A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia (1992) brought him to the attention of Rick Berman who was creating the new series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993).
Originally brought in to audition for the role of Commander Benjamin Sisko, Berman decided Siddig was too young for the role and cast him as Dr. Julian Bashir instead. The part had to be slightly rewritten for Siddig as the original "bible" had called for a Hispanic male to play the part, named Julian Amoros, although Berman reports that no other actors were considered for the role. Siddig has picked up the role of Phillip Burton in sci-fi TV series Primeval. In August 2010, he expressed his doubts about resurrecting his character, Dr. Siddig's roles have often called for him to act out many different accents: a southern English accent (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), an English Cockney accent (Reign of Fire), and an Algerian accent (Spooks), among others.
