William knew he wanted to be a soldier from the time he was five. He knew he would be good at it, and he was right. William was strong and smart enough to work his way out of any situation if need be. Sometimes, he would go out to the woods and play army with his friends, making strategies and plans so that his team would always win. Everyone admired him for his high intelligence and handsome face. William was the most popular kid all through school. He always had the best looking girlfriends, the nicest friends, and was getting the highest grades. Everything was perfect. William’s life fell apart the day his squad, the men he had come to think of as his brothers, died in an explosion caused by an IED. William was the only one to survive, yet the explosion left a nasty scar on his face that appalled people at the sight.  He was honorably discharged and returned home, but was unable to adapt back to life as a civilian. The male began to wear a mask so that nobody, man or women, would feel the urge to dispose of the creature behind the mask that stared into their soul. William began to hear and see things that weren’t really there. Most of them were the dead soldiers whom he fought beside. One that always stuck out to him was a lady. She was pretty, perfect even. Her voice was kind and caring, always helping Will. She reminded him of his mother, who died not long after he had been deported home. The woman, who never seemed to have a name, would sing to Will. She was an angel to him. He soon took up singing himself, and he was quite good at it. Yet, he would always fear showing his damaged face to the outside world. William decided to check himself into Hope Grove, thinking it would help with his flashbacks and with the faces of the dead soldiers who he fought beside. Even the nameless girl encouraged it and told him to get help, even though he knew that he might very well die if people saw him.

Sami Sayegh (FC: Ramin Karimloo) is currently open. The following is an interview with playbill.com that he gave recently.

Interviewer: So, Sami, how old are you and how long have you been in the business?

Sami: Well, I’m 30, and I’ve been doing this professionally for about 8 years now. Mostly off-Broadway stuff, a few chorus roles… this is my first lead on Broadway and I have to say it’s pretty exciting.

I: Could you explain to us a little bit about what exactly it is that you do?

S: I’m an actor. There’s not really much to say about that, is there?

I: That’s very interesting. What would you say it was that first got you into theatre?

S: You know, that’s a good question, because most people would probably say their mom or something, right? But my mom hated that I did theatre, all through high school. Still hates it, actually, but that’s another story. It was actually my dad who told me that I should go for it when I told him that it might be something that I wanted to do, and I did, and now here I am.

I: And did you always think you’d make it to Broadway?

S: No, of course not!

I: Okay, let’s get a little bit more personal then. Can you tell us about your childhood?

S: Well, like I said, my mom hated that I did theatre, so even though she came to all of my shows, and she was proud of me, there was still always a bit of tension, you know? Anyways, other than that, it was pretty normal. I got good grades, I watched my sister graduate from college and go on to med school… all pretty normal stuff, you know?

I: Uh-huh. And what about now? What would you say your life is like?

S: Not normal. I mean, I don’t know if it can even really put into words. It’s crazy, especially now that I’m in rehearsals for Aladdin, but it’s fun, and I absolutely love it.

I: What show are you currently working on, if any?

S: I'm originating Aladdin in, you know, Aladdin.

I: I love that show! Who would you say your favourite person in the cast or crew is? 

S: Our choreographer, Zach – he’s unlike any person I’ve ever met before.

I: Are they the best person you’ve ever worked with, or was there someone else?

S: You know, off the top of my head, probably, yeah.

I: What about love life? Do you have any off stage love interests?

S: Er, no, not really. My life is pretty much entirely work right now. Maybe one day, though.

I: Alright then. Why don’t we get back to you specifically, though. What would you say some of your strengths and weaknesses are?

S: My strengths and weaknesses… that one’s gonna require a bit more thought. Hm… I’m very dedicated, and devoted, and I always show up to rehearsal on time. I do wish I had better dancing abilities sometimes though.

I: If you had to pick your dream production to work on, what would it be?

S: Out of any production, ever? I’d love to be in Phantom of the Opera.

I: Now let’s get to the juicy stuff. If you were to be involved in a scandal, what would it be?

S: I don’t think I would be involved in a scandal.

I: Well I think that’s enough for today. It was great getting to sit down with you and I wish you luck in all of your work.

S: Thank you so much, this was amazing.
