episode 146: Once Upon An Abubakr In Hollywood
Our today's guest is an actor, writer, and singer. He recently landed a significant role in the upcoming Netflix series as the anti-hero, Hunter Rose. This opportunity is historic because he is the first Arab Muslim actor to lead in a comic book adaptation. We talked about what this casting means for him, how he has navigated the world of acting, the contradictions in media and theater, & what it means to partake and challenge these social norms.
