In a country where many people are inadvertently suspicious of Muslim and Arab Americans and where few citizens actually have substantial contact with these minority groups, a show like 24 can greatly affect the perception of the community...
Murray grew up in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, Ill., the fifth of nine children. Three of his brothers are actors, and a sister Nancy, a Dominican nun, tours the world in a one-woman show as St. Catherine of Sienna.
