Doran Martell’s Early Exit
Other actors felt that their time on the show was much too short, however. One example is Alexander Siddig, whose Dornish Prince Doran Martell was unceremoniously assassinated by Ellaria Sand in the first episode of season six despite the fact that Siddig was contracted for four episodes that season as he shared in an interview with StarTrek.com. It’s possible that Siddig’s role was cut short after the less-than-popular Dorne plot of season five.
