    You mentioned Proximo, played by the late, great Oliver Reed. He was a well-known hellraiser and very talented actor that came to the fore in the 1960s. Known for his smouldering performances he could be menacing. On chat shows he could be unpredictable and outrageous. He sadly died during filming of 'Gladiator' so some of his scences needed to be completed using ready-shot footage + special effects.

    He was also in Whoopi Goldberg's Sitcom, "Whoopi" I recently discovered 😃
    He has been around , our Omid. Spreading that Persian , Baha'i Love wherever he goes 😄😅
    I discovered the Baha'i Faith in 1997 and it changed my life. As far as any organised religion goes it welcomed me into the world of Spirituality after being an atheist for 5 years in my teens.
    I know you probably aren't that interested in that side, Brian, but his humour makes sense to me because of what I know about people in general and Iranian Baha'is and their life and strife..
    There has been terrible persecution, executions and killing happening to Baha'is at the hands of Islam for over a century now, but no one talks about it. Baha'is keep VERY QUIET about their religion.. with VERY good reason.
    He has never really mentioned it over the years . I don't either, yet when the need arises the Teachings do need to come out.
    (If anyone reads this and wants to know what I am talking about , let's start a thread 😅)
    Omid's parents no doubt fled for their lives to live in safety in the UK.
    He is a testament to being a Baha'i , the essence of love and being human.. and trying to laugh through adversity.
    Iranians do have a very particular sense of humour that makes me howl in laughter !😂
    You have to laugh at the bad stuff, right ?!
    I have known two Omids, amongst my other Iranian friends through the Baha'i Faith, if nothing else they make amazing food and really know how to party 🥳🤩💃🏻🕺🏻

    You now have to dig out TV Heaven, Telly Hell with Omid and Sean Lock. The whole episode is great, but Omid playing his imaginary bongos is one of the funniest things ever. Sean Lock killing himself laughing.
