IN CONVERSATION WITH: Hannah Khalil, writer of Love Omar ‘I really wanted to get backstage and understand how it all worked!’ wp.me/pdXz8Y-98H #interview #highlight #feature
In today’s piece for all, actor Al Nedjari writes about becoming the complicated, exoticised figure of Omar Sharif in Hannah Khalil’s new play Love Omar, and his reflections on his career navigating stereotypes and bigotry alongside his evolving relationship to his own racial identity.
'Like Omar Sharif, I was sent underwear in the mail'
His first role was on Coronation Street – but Al Nedjari hated playing an 'exotic Arab toyboy'. Yet after a career of resisting typecasting, he's happy to play a heart-throb again
