10 Underrated Movies With Star Trek Actors

10. Kingdom Of Heaven - Alexander Siddig

Character actor Alexander Siddig may not be a household name, but he has been a mainstay in various genre offerings in film and TV over the last three decades. His big break came when he got the role of Dr. Julian Bashir in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a role he played for seven seasons.

Since then, he has appeared in films and series such as 24, Vertical Limit, Clash of the Titans, and Game of Thrones, elevating the various roles he inhabits in these projects. Some of his most notable work came in the 2005 thriller, Syriana, as well in Ridley Scott's historical epic, Kingdom of Heaven, released in the same year.

The film's theatrical release received a lukewarm response due to its perceived lack of narrative depth but was still praised for its technical craft and strong performances from a cast that included, in addition to Siddig, the likes of Orlando Bloom, Edward Norton, Eva Green, and Jeremy Irons.

A sorely needed director's cut was released not too long after the theatrical cut and fleshed out character relationships and motivations (strengthening some performances in the process) and deepened the film's various plotlines.
