@tsoliot5913 Long story short, the actor was Nigerian. On average West Africans are physically more muscular, than Northeast Africans.

@Pterinochilus John I agree it was a casting decision, also the actor has Nigerian ancestry. Hence why he looks noticeably different, from the Somali extras.

@ScreechingPossum Also finding actors to play the Malaysians, would have complicated the production. As the combat scenes were filmed in Morocco.
