Synopsis
The magical stories of A Thousand and One Nights come alive as the beautiful newlywed, Scheherazade (Mili Avital) tries to keep her husband, the powerful and handsome Sultan (Dougray Scott), from executing her. By telling him a different story each night, she is able to put off her execution another day. All the stories you thought you knew are spun to life: Aladdin (Jason Scott Lee) and the Genie (John Leguizamo); Ali Baba (Rufus Sewell) and the forty Thieves; and, Black Coda (Tcheky Karyo). Eventually, these stories not only win her freedom, but the sultan's heart as well. (ABC)

Oded's role
Scheherazade starts with the story of Ali Baba and the forty thieves. In this episode Oded Fehr plays thief #2. You can see him in the background a few times and he even has a few lines, but his role is actually very small.
