27	!! Oded Fehr provides examples of the following tropes:
28	* CastTheExpert: As he served in the Israeli military, he already knew how to handle guns for his role in ''Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse''.
29	* FakeNationality: His relatively soft accent allowed him to use numerous dialects such as British, American, Epyptian, Argentine, French etc.
30	* ImportantHaircut: As he got fame with long hair, he chose to cut it short to avoid being typecast, and to allow himself some anonymity in public.
31	* TheOtherDarrin: As Jafar in ''Series/OnceUponATime''. He replaced Creator/NaveenAndrews (who portrayed the character in ''Series/OnceUponATimeInWonderland''; scheduling conflicts with ''Series/Sense8'' prevented him from reprising the role).
32	* PlayingAgainstType:
33	** Normally in action or horror movies, he also starred in the comedy ''Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo''.
34	** Mildly in ''{{Series/Charmed 1998}}'', as he plays the villainous demon Zankou.
35	* PlaysGreatEthnics: Along with his native Israeli, he's been Arab, Brazilian, French and Greek.
36	* SparedByTheCut: Ardeth died in an early edit of ''Film/TheMummy1999''. Stephen Sommers however decided that the character was too cool to be killed off and spared him, bringing him back for ''Film/TheMummyReturns''.
