description: "Samer Ismail is a Syrian actor known for portraying the ancient character of Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph of Islam in the pan-Arab television series Omar  directed by Hatem Ali. The series was produced and broadcast by MBC. Some questioned his portrayal of the character of Omar, demanding to know Ismail's religious origin. Ismail refused to reveal his religious denomination saying that this was a personal matter and was irrelevant to his role. He also played the role of Azzam in the TV series Minbar al Mawta directed by Rasha Sharbatji. He also appeared in the film Cello, directed by Darren Lynn Bousman."
