If you missed the appearances we've mentioned so far, then you probably recognize Karam from one of her two recent starring roles on network television series.
In 2017, Karam was cast on the NBC military drama The Brave, portraying Jasmin "Jaz" Khan, the resident sniper on a team of elite special ops soldiers. The series sported a cast that included Chicago P.D.'s Anne Heche, Under the Dome's Mike Vogel, Quantico's Tate Ellington, and Justified's Demetrius Grosse. Though The Brave quickly found a small but dedicated fan base and garnered rave response from viewers, critics weren't keen on it and NBC canceled it after a single season.
Luckily, Karam found a new home in short order: the Fox procedural 9-1-1: Lone Star, which centers on a fictional company of fire, police, and ambulance units in Austin, Texas. On 9-1-1: Lone Star, Karam plays Marjan Marwani, a paramedic and firefighter with a strong dedication to her Muslim faith. She's teamed on the show with veteran actor Rob Lowe, Harlots' Liv Tyler, and The L Word: Generation Q's Brian Michael Smith. 9-1-1: Lone Star is already facing a better fate than The Brave, having been renewed for a second season in April 2020 (via Deadline).
Karam's future is looking just as bright in the movie realm, too. Next on tap for the actress is a starring role in the superhero fantasy film Samaritan opposite Sylvester Stallone, Silicon Valley's Martin Starr, and Orange Is the New Black's Dascha Polanco. Karam's star keeps rising, and it'll be interesting to see what the future has in store for the talented actress.
The Old Guard is streaming on Netflix now.
