As the latest procedural drama series by “Law & Order” creator Dick Wolf, “FBI” has been a treat so far for viewers. And on “FBI” Episode 5, the agents are going to take on a dangerous case that has put a lot of lives at risk.
According to the official synopsis of “FBI” Episode 5, Special Agents Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) and OA Zidan (Zeeko Zaki) are on an assignment to investigate the death of a safety inspector. Apparently, the safety inspector death may have a connection to a leak at a nuclear power plant so they will have to tread carefully. Titled “Doomsday,” the synopsis doesn’t really give away much in terms of plot details.
Meanwhile, Zaki has revealed that his character was originally meant to be a Latino. In an interview with the Sioux City Journal, the Egyptian-American actor even noted that the character was supposed to have a link to drug cartels at first. However, he decided to take the chance and auditioned for the role. Well, the creative team must have really liked him because they decided to make changes to the character after they met him.
“By the time I screen-tested for FBI, the character was no longer Latino and the initials OA had come to stand for Omar Adom. There were lines of Egyptian Arabic woven into the dialogue. There were references to pearls of wisdom imparted by a grandfather back in Egypt. Special Agent Omar Adom Zidan had come into being, born of what my personal existence had demonstrated was possible,” Zaki said in an interview with Time. “And now he is real. Now he is on TV, fighting not just crime but, in effect, the stereotypes we too often see.“
“FBI” Episode 5 is scheduled to air on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 9:00 p.m. ET on the CBS Television Network. Here’s a look at the preview for the upcoming episode.
