Kurdish-born
HAYMAN HOMER is an American actor and film producer. His leading role performances emerge from the groundbreaking portrayal of Jesus Christ in the epic historical drama movie The Messiah (2024), earning him the distinction of being the first Kurd to take on this iconic character.

Hailing from a Kurdish heritage that adds depth and resonance to his work, Hayman's roots trace back to the heart of the Kurdish capital of Erbil, an ancient city steeped in urban history, rich in culture, and adorned with the resilience of its people. Fostering a deep connection to his family, Hayman's formative years were shaped by the tales of his old country. His father, Homer Eli, a member of the Kurdish Peshmerga Intelligence Forces, sacrificed his life in defense of the Kurds. After the loss of his father at the tender age of 10, he was raised by his single mother, Bediah Azeez, who faced the monumental task of raising him and his seven siblings: five brothers and two sisters.
