Multicultural TV Talk - Amr Elsheikh, Showtime's City On A Hill

MediaVillage Podcast Network

In this episode of Multicultural TV Talk we are joined by actor Amr Elsheikh, who discusses his latest role -- a multi-episode arc on the Showtime series City on a Hill. He portrays Moustafa Mody, a new character in the show's third season.

Amr talks with us about his upbringing in Egypt and initial dreams of becoming a professional soccer player, a feat he nearly achieved until an untimely injury delayed the opportunity, as well as what sparked his interest in acting. And he shares that there are very few Egyptian and Arabic actors that make him feel represented. But one he does have is El Sayed Badreya, an Egyptian actor and filmmaker who has worked on Hollywood blockbusters such as Iron Man and the popular video game series Uncharted.
