King of Dorne, Doran Martell.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993—1999),[31] is an American actor that played Prince Doran Martell,[32] the ruler of Dorne; and older brother of Oberyn Martell (the Red Viper).[32] He played the character for a total of six episodes, although he was contracted to fulfil ten.[33] His role is notable in that he is one of the most important characters, and is still alive in the last book George R. R. Martin released (A Dance of Dragons, 2011). He was a fan favourite choice to play the role. However after having been on the set of Game of Thrones, Siddig became disillusioned with the shows producers (even speculating "[M]aybe I just screwed up. Maybe I said the wrong thing to the wrong person"), and even felt scorned at having had his character killed off so soon. He isn't the only one however, as the actor that played Ser Barristan Selmy similarly felt irritated at his character's premature, albeit surprising death.[34] On the other hand the producers were courteous enough to give him ample warning (as they do to all the characters they kill off), and made it extremely memorable—so much so that Siddig was happy about the outcome of his time on set, saying "your schedule gets kind of messed up. You don’t earn as much as you would if you were doing another show, because they’re Game of Thrones, and they don’t have to pay anyone. So it’s kind of a blessing in disguise!...Being on it at all sticks, and everyone goes, ‘Oh, the guy from Game of Thrones!’ It doesn’t really matter that you weren’t on it very long".[34] He was also brutally honest about how actors are treated on the show, saying; "I know that, from an actor’s point of view, professionally you don’t want to be on a show like that for too long, unless you are one of the top leads who originated the show, because your schedule gets kind of messed up".[34] Another actor, Ed Skrein, however parted ways even more brutally; he was fired and recast for what he said were down to the shows (and presumably the producers) "politics".[35] Regardless, as a result of the publicity from the show, both Siddig and Skrein went on to greater things.
