Summary

You know his face and have felt his presence. Israeli-born Oded Fehr studied acting at the Old Vic in London and first made a vivid impression on movie audiences in The Mummy andThe Mummy Returns. Since then he has dodged stereotype casting, agreeing to play a terrorist in the TV series Sleeper Cell because it was a three-dimensional character. He then forged a new path in Star Trek: Discovery and Starfleet Academy. He is a charming, well-spoken man who belies the villainous image that gave him his first opportunities on screen. You can see his latest feature film, Grizzly Night, on Video on Demand.
