Remember this guy from "Sappy Anniversary"?Given the uncertainty over the exact spelling of this gentleman's name, we'll just call him Samir. He could have family origins in India, Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt, or anywhere else across the Arabic world and South Asia, including Israel. He could be Muslim, Hindu, Christian, or even Jewish.
In any event, he is an affable fellow, one of the nouveau riche of Buzzdome.com, and his boss describes him as "kind of a one-man, pinch-hitting brain trust." Samir later privately admits to Jake Morgendorffer that he gets paid "big money to sit around and daydream," and he is "not about to rock the boat." He could easily be a millionaire, but remember that this was before the popping of the dot-com bubble. If he and the other Buzzdome.com staff had most of their money tied up in stock options or the like, the crash could have wiped them out. Did it? What did he do after the bubble burst? And what the heck did Samir really do at Buzzdome?
All I can say is, any guy who has a giant inflatable palm tree by his desk has to have a cool side.
