n the upcoming Showtime tel-
evision series Sleeper Cell, Tel
Aviv-born actor Oded Fehr
plays Farik, the leader of a Muslim
terrorist cell who poses as a syna-
gogue-going Jewish man.
Fehr now savors the irony of the
casting and plotline, but he was
less enthusiastic when a producer
initially approached him about the
role.
"I told my agent I didn't want to
do if,' said Fehr, who at 34 has the
tall, dark and handsome looks of
an old-time Hollywood idol. He
works from Los Angeles.
After he read the script, Fehr
changed his mind. "The writing
was fantastic;' he said. "There was
also. the challenge — I have never
played a role that was so far from
me:'
As Ferik, Fehr is chillingly con-
vincing as the alternately menac-
ing and personable leader of the
multinational terrorist cell, plotting
to spread havoc at some of the best
known Los Angeles-area land-
marks.
Among the likely targets consid-
ered in- the opening-segment are
the Los Angeles International
Airport, the Rose Bowl, the UCLA
campus and local nuclear facilities.
The latest recruit to the six-man
cell is Darwyn (Michael Ealy), a
young black man and devout
Muslim, who is actually an FBI
undercover agent.
He has infiltrated the cell by first
posing as an inmate at a federal
prison and is steered to Farik by a
fellow Black Muslim prisoner.
Darwyn first makes contact with
Farik at a most unlikely place,
Sinai Temple in Westwood, where
the cell leader, wearing a yarmulke
and tallit, poses as a regular wor-
shipper.
He is so dedicated a congregant
that he coaches the Sinai Maccabi
girls softball team, wearing a blue
T-shirt emblazoned with a large
Star of David.
The other members of the cell
are an odd lot, all Muslims but
mainly non-Arab. Christian is a
radical French skinhead, Ilija is a
Bosnian whose family was killed
by Serbians, Tommy is an all-
American boy rebelling against his
Berkeley parents and Bobby is an
Egyptian-American.
As Darwyn's love interest, Gayle,
Melissa Sagerniller adds a touch of
interracial romance to the macho
drama.
The producers of Sleeper Cell are
obviously striving for veracity,
both by setting the cell's meetings
in such familiar locales as bowling
alleys and children's parks, and by
hiring a Pakistani-born Muslim as
one of the writers.
Whether juxtaposing "good"
Muslims with "bad" Muslims and
making most of the terrorists
European and American will make
the series attractive to U.S. televi-
sion viewers remains to be seen.
On A Whim
Fehr is optimistic that the quali-
ty, tension and timeliness of the
show will find an audience and
carry Sleeper Cell over into a sec-
ond season.
