Patrick Sabongui is a Canadian actor, stunt performer, theatre actor, and drama teacher.
Patrick is the son of Leila (Rizkalla), an educator of French and librarian, and Wadid Sabongui, a psychologist. His parents are Egyptian, and are Coptic Christians. Patrick grew up speaking French, English, and Arabic. His sister is actress Marie-Marguerite Sabongui. He is married to American actress Kyra Zagorsky, with whom he has two children, actors Ashé Sabongui and Bodhi Sabongui.
His parents are Coptic Christians, thus labeling him as “Arab” is somehow controversial (as usual for Christian MENAs).
what? it isnt. He is an arab!
