NORTHVILLE, Mich. - Michimich -- Pomegranate Pictures is very glad to announce that 40-year Hollywood veteran, Sam-of-All-Trades Sako, has joined the Pomegranate motion picture production team as Producer, Casting Director, and Cultural Advisor. "Because the Pomegranate story focuses on the fascinating peculiarities surrounding the assimilation of Middle East immigrants into mainstream of Americana, Sam's vast cultural expertise is going to be essential to our team at every turn," said Stan Williams, the film's Executive Producer.

As a foreign language coach in Hollywood, Sam is often called on by producers to coach some of the world's best-known on-screen talent, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Omar Sharif, Mark Strong, Russel Crow, Oscar Isaac, Brad Dourif, Tim Roth, Scott Glenn, Danny Trejo, and Freddy Rodriguez to name few.

Sam's nickname (Sam of all trades) comes from his broad knowledge of the industry resulting from decades of work as an actor, casting director, voice over artist, Middle East cultural consultant, dialect coach, ADR performer, cinematographer, editor, producer and director. He's worked extensively on independent and major studio domestic and foreign releases, and particularly those for Middle East markets. His best- known films include Body of Lies, Green Zone, Hidalgo, The Passion of the Christ, Iron Man, Mad Max: Furry Road, Beverly Hills Cop II, & Robo Cop. Major television projects have included Over There, Touch, NCIS, Weeds, Homeland and Lethal Weapon.
