This is from my www.badcb.blogspot.com website, but it's relevant to The Vertex Fighter.
Zaib Shaikh: He is the lead actor in the TV show Little Mosque on the Prairie on CBC. He has recently confirmed me as his friend on Facebook. I have seen one episode of this show. They're going into their 6th season in Jan. 2012. It's kind of funny about a Muslim community living in a small town. I'm not Muslim, but I did find the show had a quirky small town feeling like the other Canadian show Corner Gas.
If you want to know more about him, I copy and pasted his info from Facebook onto my www.thevertexfghter.blogspot.com website. This is from Facebook:
"Star of CBC’s hit comedy, Little Mosque on The Prairie, Zaib Shaikh has worked across Canada as an actor, director and producer.
Most recently he co-wrote, directed and co-produced the Gemini Award winning tv film, Othello, the Tragedy of the Moor.
His other television work includes lead or guest starring roles in Metropia, Da Vinci’s City Hall and The Dead Zone. Upcoming Zaib will be in Deepa Mehta’s latest film, Midnight’s Children, adapted from the novel by Sir Salman Rushdie. Radio listeners may have heard Zaib on CBC Radio One as he is a regular guest host for Jian Ghomeshi on Q and has been featured in Afghanada.
Currently Zaib is in development with a variety of television and film projects under the banner of his production company, Governor Films.
Zaib has had the pleasure of working with some of the largest theatre companies in Canada including Canadian Stage, National Arts Centre, Globe Theatre, Grand Theatre and the Stratford Festival of Canada.

When not working in film, television, theatre or radio, Zaib has traveled across Canada and the world speaking on the power of Arts and The Media as a platform to greater understanding between Eastern and Western culture."
The Vertex Fighter actors: I will throw in Zaib Shaikh to make an appearance in The Vertex Fighter. I can see him as a guy hanging out in the club.
I wrote about Sam Witwer before. He's the vampire Aidan on the supernatural show Being Human. I can see him as a fighter.
