Sudanese-born British actor, credited early on as Siddig El Fadil, who played the station's chief medical officer Julian Bashir across all seven seasons.
Alexander Siddig is a Sudanese-born British actor and director, born in 1965, who trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and worked in theater before being cast in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He was credited in the early seasons under his birth name, Siddig El Fadil.
As Doctor Julian Bashir, Siddig played a gifted but initially brash young physician whose friendship with Miles O'Brien and fascination with the Cardassian tailor Elim Garak became fan favorites. Later seasons revealed that Bashir had been genetically enhanced as a child, and drew him into the shadowy world of Section 31. He appeared in every season from 1993 to 1999.
Since Deep Space Nine, Siddig has built a substantial career in film and television, including Hamri Al-Assad on 24, Doran Martell on Game of Thrones, Ra's al Ghul on Gotham and Philip Burton on Primeval, along with films such as Syriana and Cairo Time.
