Why O.A. From FBI Looks So Familiar

Valor was a short-lived military drama on the CW, but for Zeeko Zaki, it was a meaningful one. The show centered around an elite group of ultra-skilled helicopter pilots, their various daring missions, and their many personal and professional issues. While Zaki wasn't part of the main cast, his character, Staff Sergeant (or Crew Chief, depending on the episode) Matt Darzi featured on five of the show's 13 episodes. 

Zaki has told Harper's Bazaar that he sees Sgt. Darzi as a pretty important milestone on his way to bigger, better, less typecast things. "My last two roles before this were soldiers, and they were good guys," he said, referring to Darzi and, presumably, his soldier character in Escape Plan 2: Hades. "I got the chance to recur on a few shows. It was definitely time to start really going for newer, bigger roles." 

Here's hoping that Zaki will keep flying high on FBI – and whatever other roles the future has in store for him.
