The Resume

    (November 21, 1965- )

Why he might be annoying:

    He was originally considered for the role of Captain Benjamin Sisko, but was deemed too young for the part.
    He was billed as Siddig El Fadil for the first three seasons of DS9 before changing it because Trekkies had too much trouble pronouncing 'El Fadil.'
    He and co-star Nana Visitor had a son, married a year later, then got divorced after four years.
    He provided several voices for the video game 'James Cameron's Titanic Explorer.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He made a good decision shortening that name.
    His uncles include Malcolm McDowell on his mother's side and a former prime minister of the Sudan on his father's side.
    He has performed in films in French and Arabic as well as English.
    He commented, 'Oliver Stone went 'I hated Star Trek and I don't want you in Alexander!' I was really lucky there.'
