Cast members include Israels Moran Atias and Ashraf Barhom. Egyptian Sammy Sheik plays Hamid & Waleed Elgadi of Sudan plays the role of Walid Rashid. Executive producer Howard Goldon told Indiewire that Tyrant is about whats happening in Egypt, Libya & Syria: ...to have the opportunity to tell a story about people and put faces on the things that are merely headlines felt just too good to ignore.
