"He’s done a few dramas, but nothing like this that was so serious. It was so very different from what he’s used to doing and I think it was very courageous on Sacha’s part to tackle this role, that’s really two roles," Gideon Raff, the show's creator said of Sacha. "We spent months in Morocco shooting it and his dedication was just out of this world. He did almost everything and he worked so hard and it was a real privilege working with him."
