Jamie Ward (Septembers of Shiraz) has signed on for a recurring role in the third season of FX drama series Tyrant. It revolves around an unassuming American family drawn into the inner workings of a turbulent fictional Middle Eastern nation. Al-Fayeed, younger son of the war-torn country’s dictator, ends a self-imposed 20-year exile to return to his homeland. His reluctant homecoming leads to a dramatic clash of cultures as he is thrown back into the familial and national politics of his youth.
Ward will play Nabil. He will next be seen opposite Adrien Brody, Selma Hayek and Shohreh Aghdashloo in Septembers of Shiraz, set for release next month. He also starred in thriller The Rezort with Dougray Scott and Jessica DeGouw, and appeared in British series The Durrells on ITV.
