Now that’s just being plain greedy. No-one needs that many names.

But I agree – he was one of my favourite characters in Deep Space Nine. He was also excellent in Syriana and in an episode of Spooks, where (bizarrely) he was playing an Arabian informant infiltrating a suicide bomber terrorist cell.

Last year he also played Genghis Khan in a (reportedly very good) mini-series that was on BBC, but I didn’t catch that.

If I’m ever asked to pen a 24-style espionage / thriller series my main character is going to be called something slightly fey – Giles, perhaps, or Montague (Monty in an emergency).
