Fan CastingFahim Fazli

This inspiring narrative chronicles the compelling life journey of Fahim Fazli. Born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan, Fazli saw his country and family split apart by revolution and civil war. His mother, older brother, and two younger sisters fled the totalitarian terror of Communism, but Fahim, his brother Hares, and his father went years without any word as to their whereabouts. Finally, the three of them embarked upon a dramatic escape of their own, trekking for seven days and seven nights through the perils of the Hindu Kush, eventually making it to Pakistan. They assumed refuges status for two years, before getting asylum in the United States, where the Fazli family was finally reunited. After moving to California, Fazli pursued his dream of becoming an actor, paying his dues by taking on multiple jobs while working as a movie extra for 15 years. After two unsuccessful arranged marriages with Afghan brides, Fazli finally found true love with an American woman.
