Got to meet and shake hands with favourite #StarTrek actor #AlexanderSiddig #DoctorBashir at @StarTrek_DST today. Best day of the year so far! And first autograph I’ve ever got!

Fun fact: Dee and Tamar’s father, Chas, interviewed Sid on the Kingdom of Heaven red carpet for Sid City back in 2005!
Met, chatted and got a photo. Best one of the day for me and that he knew where we lived and visited as a child regularly nearby was extra special. Loved it. pic.twitter.com/DdaT2M2NhH

Then met the incredible Alexander Siddig – Dr Julian Bashir from #DS9 – one of two fictional doctors who influenced my first career choice. Some of you may recognise him from @Gotham and others from another TV show involving games and thrones… #DST pic.twitter.com/X9hK66OjUH

Alexander Siddig is one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. Took the time to speak to everyone. Even got to ask him what it was like to play British agent Julian Bashir. #DST pic.twitter.com/RBAnIccw0q

They say to never meet the people who play characters you love. Their real personality may ruin the fantasy. #alexandersiddig is every bit as wonderful as #drbashir . Now for me to figure out how to get famous so we may one day share lunch like good old Garak! #DST #StarTrek #DS9 pic.twitter.com/DswRP6fx17

Props to Joseph for thinking outside the box on signature items! (The Director’s Cut really is the superior version of KOH.)
Yesterday morning was a good one for Operation Get Those Ridley Scott Films Signed:
Black Hawk Down – Jason Isaacs (“Thank you for bringing this!”)
Kingdom of Heaven – Alexander Siddig (“Have you seen the director’s cut?”)
P.S. Hello to Jason Isaacs pic.twitter.com/BGDc7PIxUE— Joseph Sutton (@BadmanBegins) October 21, 2018
Paying Respects to Ira Steven Behr

Alexander Siddig invades the stage to distill the audience’s love for Ira Steven Behr into a hug. Since the show ended he’s realised how much he was the creative inspiration “The reason so many of us think DS9 is the best Star Trek series” – yet. He crucially added ‘yet’. #DST pic.twitter.com/cfl7151ZTZ
