EXCLUSIVE: Raffi Barsoumian (The Code) is set for a heavily recurring role on the upcoming sixth season of SEAL Team on Paramount+.
Barsoumian will play Omar, a Senior Chief with fifteen years of experience as a SEAL. The son of Syrian immigrants, Omar has a deep understanding of the Middle East, and calls upon that knowledge to help navigate missions in the region.
The David Boreanaz-starring SEAL Team follows the professional and personal lives of the most elite unit of Navy SEALs as they train, plan and execute the most dangerous, high-stakes missions our country can ask of them. Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley and Toni Trucks also star.
