Tomer Sisley & Mehdi Dehbi - Casting
Tomer Sisley (We’re The Millers) and Mehdi Dehbi (London Has Fallen) have been cast in Netflix’s drama series Messiah, from writer Michael Petroni (The Book Thief) and producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey.
Sisley will play Avrim Dahan, an embittered Shin Bet operative who is violent, aggressive, a non-believer who is fighting for the protection of his country and nothing else. He has done some shameful things in the fight against terrorism.
Dehbi, whose casting was first reported by Variety, will play Al Massih, described as an enigma, his origins a mystery. People are unsure if he is a divine messenger or a political rabble-rouser. When he disappears from an Israeli interrogation cell with no explanation his legend begins to grow.
