Omid Abtahi plays the recurring role of Penn Pershing on the show's first two seasons. He talked about bringing diversity to the Star Wars franchise to ComicBookMovie.com. "It does mean a lot. I get asked a lot, 'Who would you be or who would you play if you were a superhero?' I don't know how to answer those because I never saw myself playing anybody. Maybe I don't know the universe too well, but I never saw myself in anybody, so once I learned about Hawkman's soul and where he came from in Egypt and Prince Khufu, I felt for once, 'There is a reason I'm here.' Maybe he's Carter Hall, but his soul is from the Middle East, and that's what I can provide."

If I don't come out of this without having created this magnificent project that's just everything I've ever wanted, then I've failed.' It's challenging me to be patient with myself and it's been more of a gradual focus on the smaller things that I've wanted for a while. From that, I've seen some ideas for projects come to light and collaborations take shape."

Being involved from ideas' inceptions with talented people is one of the most rewarding experiences. The high level of skill around me allows for me to take that all on. It's a lot, but seeing how such talent elevates the projects to levels I'd never dreamed of is something I am thoroughly enjoying and motivated to continue pursuing. I find all areas of this business exciting to be honest."

In addition to playing Paz Vizsla, Tait Fletcher sells coffee and MCT oil. He talked about the importance of MCT oil, and some of his diet secrets, with Brainwiz.org. "MCT is a nice healthy fat that you can derive from coconuts or palm oil. But with palm oil, you have destruction of rainforest and great ape habitat, so we try to be careful of how we source, and we do it from coconuts. I use it in my coffee to keep my fats high. I keep my fats high because I feel better that way. I spoke a little bit on the ketogenic diet; personally, I've found that keeping my carbohydrate count to 50 or 30 grams a day or less, I feel great. But in order to do that, I have to eat a ton of fat. Then my body creates ketones, and my body is fueled off adipose tissue."
