Oded Fehr

Oded first caught the attention of moviegoers with his portrayal of the mysterious warrior, Ardeth Bay, in the hit action thriller The Mummy. He later reprised his role in the even more successful sequel, The Mummy Returns. Fehr just wrapped production on the third installment of the Resident Evil franchise: Resident Evil: Extinction, reprising his role of ‘Carlos.’ The film will be released by Screen Gems in fall 2007. He was seen most recently opposite Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning in DreamWorks' Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story.

Additionally, Fehr returned to the small screen last winter in Showtime’s compelling drama series Sleeper Cell. The show has received nominations for an Emmy, Golden Globe, and TCA Award as well as being named one of the American Film Institute’s top ten TV programs of the year. Fehr stars as Farik, the leader of an underground terrorist group in Los Angeles. VARIETY called him “magnetic” and THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER said he is “masterful” in his portrayal. Fehr’s other television credits include leading roles on NBC’s UC: Undercover and the CBS drama Presidio Med with Blythe Danner and Dana Delany.

Born in Israel, Fehr relocated to Germany to pursue a career in business with his father. On a whim, he decided to sign up for a drama class and went on to star in a production of David Mamet’s Sexual Perversity in Chicago. Foregoing his business career, Fehr spent the next three years enrolled at the Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol England. He then went on to London’s Court Yard Theatre where he graced the stage as Don Juan in their production of Don Juan Comes Back from the War.

Mr. Fehr will be attending Starfest on Saturday, April 21st as part of a special Resident Evil: Extinction presentation at 2pm in our Main Events Room. It is possible he will be available for autographs prior to the presentation.
