According to “FBI” star Zeeko Zaki, it’s no longer shocking that an Arab-American Muslim is the lead in a TV show. “Which was the goal, of course. But then, at the same time, I’m still the only one,” he told journalists at Monte-Carlo Television Festival. 

“There’s still a bigger fight for representation on TV. And there’s still a bigger fight for balance in the world as a whole.”
