PhD research: Discussing Doran Martell/Alexander Siddig


Inevittable

Recommended Posts

This is one of several research threads about the characters in ASoIaF and Game of Thrones. I’d appreciate your comments in the discussion to help provide data for my PhD thesis (more details in the small print at the bottom of the post).



Here are a few discussion points to get things started…



  1. What do you think of how do Doran’s looks and personality differ or compare to the Doran of the books?
  2. How well (or not) does Alexander Siddig embody the character compared to how you imagined Doran while reading about him.
  3. Do you think seeing Siddig acting in any other shows or films has informed your ideas or opinions about his playing of Doran? Please explain where else you’ve seen him etc.
  4. Can you can imagine any other actor playing the role since you saw Siddig in it? If so, who? If not, why not?
  5. What interviews you have seen? What did you think of Siddig’s personality and attitude towards the show and the character. Did you seek out these interviews or come across links? Where did you find them?
  6. Do you think that you are likely to try and find out more about Siddig now that he is in GoT?
