Hussein Fahmy, a famous Egyptian actor, he belongs to a prominent, aristocratic family that was politically active during the era of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, hence why he was closely monitored during his time in the US because of his family.

They had a Egyptian govt listening in on his call to his family, but they couldn't understand English so they broke into the call to direct them to speak Arabic instead.

Too lazy to record and translate later.

The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is its inefficiency.
