"The original idea was for Reza to be smoother and more swarthy, but when I realised where the character was going, I wanted to play him like a regular Joe. I decided Reza had been to university in London, before taking up a job in the States. His look is very J Crew, lots of beige pants, cashmere and suede. Of course, Reza is a traditional Middle Eastern gentleman with traditional values - although we never disclose the country that Reza is from - he can't quite cope with his girlfriend's sexual past."
Huzzah! Marie's a slut. I'm hoping it'll turn out that way. Maybe she's been sleeping with one of the terrorists?
Reza Naiyeer, AKA actor Philip Rhys, was interviewed in The Independent newspaper on Saturday. Thanks to Adam for alerting me to that one, and for scanning in the article.
From the photo included, it looks like the curse of the '24' beard has struck again. However, the best news is that Philip has made a new TV series, co-starring alongside one-time '24' actor Dennis Hopper. I'm looking forward to that one.
