(Actually the beard was James' choice and he even wanted to go BALD for season 4, so I question his judgement in these matters :D) <br /><br />Oh, Sid was in a Merlin production? James also did a SyFy channel Merlin. Maybe that's part of what confuses people...Denisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06795374433278780949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631575026648669551.post-47656851825668157102010-04-01T03:33:24.400-07:002010-04-01T03:33:24.400-07:00No no, it's just amusing that you came here th...No no, it's just amusing that you came here thru a Sid search :D New readers are always welcome!<br /><br />What would I recommend? Hmmmm. He hasn't really done a lot of ... Actually, my favorites are BBC's "Sex Chips and Rock'n'Roll" and "Ruth Rendell Mysteries: Going Wrong", but they may not be widely available. "Bridget Jones' Diary" IS available, but it's a very small role he has in that, so it's not representative. <br /><br />He's um, going to appear in FlashForward soon... :D And Eureka. That's actually his biggest appearances besides BSG. Oh, also: he did an episode of Numb3rs last year, and while he looked horrible in the wig and beard, he was really good in that role, I thought.Denisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06795374433278780949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631575026648669551.post-82273116520071916802010-03-31T22:29:08.786-07:002010-03-31T22:29:08.786-07:00Yes, Deniselle, I did find your blog with a Siddig...Yes, Deniselle, I did find your blog with a Siddig search -- actually, an auto-alert search through either yahoo or google; I get both.<br /><br />I've been a Sid fan for a few years now, but I just watched Battlestar Gallacta within the past six months, and that was my first exposure to James... aside from the false search results. Hope you don't mind my jumping in.<br /><br />If I wanted to see James in something else, what do you recommend?<br /><br />Sid is probably best known for his Star Trek: Deep Space Nine role, but he's been in Syriana, 24, Merlin, Spooks, and others. His most recent is in a Canadian film about to be released in the US, called Cairo Time. It's his first romantic lead. His earliest was "Lawrence After Arabia." He's very cute there, with Ralph Fiennes.<br /><br />BTW, I think James looks much cuter as himself than he did as Gaius...<br /><br />Anyway, great blog!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402033415986705040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631575026648669551.post-38058105960865360192010-03-31T04:29:10.419-07:002010-03-31T04:29:10.419-07:00..I really hope it's not just the accent.

I think Ricky Gervais has a remarkably similar accent to James, but I've never heard anyone claim they look alike, thank god.Denisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06795374433278780949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631575026648669551.post-77494768237344151342010-03-31T04:08:06.226-07:002010-03-31T04:08:06.226-07:00You know, I'm so glad to hear a Siddig fan say...You know, I'm so glad to hear a Siddig fan say that. I bet it's only non-fans who make this connection - people who have never spent time actually staring at James or Sid.<br /><br />I'm not really familiar with Siddig's work at all, but seeing his pictures, he doesn't seem to have any similar traits really. <br /><br />(Did you find my blog with a Siddig search?)Denisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06795374433278780949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631575026648669551.post-69845308313194484662010-03-30T21:46:28.430-07:002010-03-30T21:46:28.430-07:00re the James Callis/Alexander Siddig thing:
Yes, ...re the James Callis/Alexander Siddig thing:<br /><br />Yes, speaking as a Sid fan, I am very annoyed by this, as well. And of course, you're absolutely right -- they really don't look alike at all, and I can never understand why people say they do. <br /><br />Maybe it's the accent, or that they both played a doctor in a SF series, but that's a pretty slim connection. And Gaius Balter and Julian Bashir, as characters, share no traits in common beyond being physicians.<br /><br />I used to try to tag the Callis photos which showed up on a Siddig search as incorrect, but I've given up.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402033415986705040noreply@blogger.com
