Omid Djalili
Daily Telegraph: Even for a man accustomed to pushing back cultural boundaries, Omid Djalili’s new theatrical venture seems a giant step. In a fortnight, this British-born Iranian actor and stand-up comic will take over from Rowan Atkinson as Fagin in Cameron Mackintosh’s record-breaking West End production of the musical Oliver! So here’s someone born to parents from an Islamic republic, playing an archetypal Jewish role, albeit a less than flattering one. Lesser men, one feels, might have gulped and walked away; Djalili cheerfully admits he never foresaw any of this being an issue >>>

Why Are You Guys So Bitter ?
by Darius Kadivar on Fri Jul 17, 2009 12:49 AM PDTI really don't understand the comments here. Bahai, Spy etc ..
Why Can't You rejoice for the success of a Fellow Compatriot ?
He is a gifted actor and Funny guy.
Rejoice for once instead of vociferating your hate !
So Cheap of You !

Storm in a teacup for publicity
by fozolie on Thu Jul 16, 2009 02:55 PM PDTThe nonsense about an Iranian playing Fagin is just that. The Brits are inherently xenophobic so their stupidity in thinking there is a story here and raising their own ignorant stereotypes (AKHMEZ THE MIDDLE EASTERNER CANNOT BE SECULAR), is not in question. Any publicity is good publicity I suppose. Not that it matters but the article does confirm he is a Bahai.
Mr. Fozolie
Hmm.. Why is that so strange?
by choghok on Thu Jul 16, 2009 02:21 PM PDTI would think that is as strange playing jew for a muslim as for a christian. And by the way Omid is Bahai if I am not mistaking.
