CIA Investigates Mysterious ’Messiah’ in Netflix’s New Middle East Thriller Series

Unlike Christ, this "messiah", through the extent of his miracles, has attracted the curiosity of the CIA. And it is within this organization that we find the Franco-Moroccan, Assaad Bouab, in the role of an agent. His partner is Eva Geller, played by Michelle Monaghan. Indeed, in the first episodes of the series, Agent Eva Geller discovers information about a man who is attracting the attention of the international community following acts that disrupt public order. She opens an investigation into his origins, with her colleague, Agent Q, played by Assaad Bouab, reports 2M.ma.

This series is a boon for "the actor whose year has been rich in different projects." Assaad Bouab was born on July 31, 1980 to a Moroccan father and a French mother. He moved to Paris in 1998 after successfully obtaining his baccalaureate in Morocco.

He followed three years of theater training at the Cours Florent, from 1999 to 2002, then took the entrance exam to the Paris Conservatory (CNSAD) where he was admitted. Since then, he has accumulated successful roles, including the one that propelled him to the forefront of the stage: Mao in "Marock" by Leila Marrakchi, recalls the same source.
