I am so excited! More so for the Asian representation! And entire O’Brien Family photo!
My ST "Fandom in the Wild" claim to fame was that I met Siddig on a flight once. He was sitting right behind me and I never new. After we landed, and everyone gets up and opens the overhead compartment to grab their stuff, I get clobbered in the head with somethings that fell out; one of the articles bounced off my head and landed on the floor, the other came to rest on my head after a decent thump. It was by all accounts a good clobbering.
I am never a happy flyer at the best of times. My face must have worn a pretty grumpy expression and a bombastic stink eye because as I looked up with an article still resting on my head to confront my unwitting assailant I see Siddig apologizing profusely.
My face went from grumpy> confusion> recognition> delight. I said "Oh, it's you." And made a hand wave gesture to say "think nothing of it". Then grabbed the article, gently hit myself in the head with it while wearing a big smile, handed it back to him and said "For you? Anything." I could see the relief on his face as he went from concerned apologetics to relief that all was well. Then quietly grabbed my bag and left.
Considering he is Sudanese royalty, he must be used to the recognition.
I think he is more famous as Dr. Bashir than Sudanese Royalty. How many would you recognize on the street? (Or in a plane as it were.)
Oh, I agree. My point was he must have a wider demographic who know who he is than just fans of a television series.
