Samer Salem

Samer Salem’s been quietly killing it, huh? Not like, “oh he had a nice walk-on role” killing it, but actually chewing up scenes in all the right places. The dude came back as Josep in the last season of The Expanse—yeah, that sci-fi epic with the rabid fanbase—and totally held his own. I mean, if you can survive the internet’s scrutiny after that, you’re doing something right. Then he pivots to rom-com land, hanging out with Keiynan Lonsdale, Dylan Sprouse, and Sarah Hyland in My Fake Boyfriend. Not a bad crew to roll with, honestly, and people were hyped for that one to drop in June 2022. But he’s not just sticking to one vibe. You catch him in The Handmaid’s Tale? Fourth season, the one that had everyone spiraling. He’s up there with Elisabeth Moss, not just background noise, but actually making a mark in a show that’s famous for eating actors alive. And then there’s The Good Doctor on ABC, where he pops up in medical drama land—because why not flex those chops a little? Oh, and if you blinked, you might’ve missed him as Naqib, the supervillain in The Boys, which, let’s be real, is one of those shows where standing out is no small feat. And that’s not all—he’s got credits in Condor, Imposters, People of Earth, and even CW’s Two Sentence Horror Stories. The guy’s got range for days, and honestly, it feels like he’s just getting started.
