Amir El-Masry, The Smith Society Podcast - Episode 1

The Smith Society is a podcast that focuses on the intricacies of storytelling, while giving an open and honest platform for each guest to shine and provide their own insight to empower each listener through the strength of their own experiences.

Smith (noun) - MAKER

Our pilot episode features a short introduction to The Smith Society podcast, the story behind it, what you can expect and what’s in a name. More importantly, this episode features a conversation with the star of the new Focus Features’ film Limbo, Amir El-Masry.

You may know Amir El-Masry from his work in Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker, Tom Clancy's “Jack Ryan,” Industry, The One, or one of his many other roles. But Amir’s performance in Limbo, taking on the lead role of Omar, is by far one of the most extraordinary performances I have seen in years, and as you’ll hear in this episode, it made me rearrange the entire first season of the podcast.

We discuss how important Limbo is for the world, his absolutely incredible performance and how he prepared for it, his favorite football club, how he got into acting, the food I must have when I visit Cairo and much more. Limbo is out now, and I recommend you all see it as soon as possible, then tell all your friends and family to see it. I truly believe this film can make the world a better place.
