Midnight Mass was released this weekend and it marks the third Netflix limited series from horror director Mike Flanagan. The new show is already “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with a 94% critics score and a 70% audience score. ComicBook.com’s own Charlie Ridgely gave the show a 5 out of 5 and called it Flanagan’s “career-best work.” Flanagan is known for working with a lot of the same actors, so you’ll recognize some Midnight Mass stars from The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. One such actor is Rahul Kohli, who Flanagan fans know as Owen from Bly Manor. The actor plays Sheriff Hassan in Midnight Mass, a Muslim who is subjected to a lot of racism from the small Christian community he’s trying to protect. One of the locals frequently calls him Sharif, referring to the famous Egyptian film actor, Omar Sharif, who was known for Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Last night, Kohli took to Instagram to share a cringe-worthy excerpt from a Midnight Mass review. Apparently, one outlet thought Kohli’s character’s name was actually Omar Sharif.
