Fehr then made up his mind to become an actor, went to London, and was accepted into the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Oded Fehr went on to appear as Don Juan in a production of "Don Juan Comes Back From War" at the Courtyard Theatre in London. He has also appeared in "The Knock" and as Victor in "Killer Net" on British Television. Six months after his graduation he was cast as Ardeth Bay in "The Mummy".

Oded's name

"Oded" is a hebrew name. It appears twice in the bible. It's the name of the father of the prophet Asarja (2Chr 15,1.8), and it's the name of a prophet who lived in the times of king Ahas (2Chr 28,9-11). I've found two meanings:
1. He (God) has helped
2. encourages
His last name's origin is German. It goes back to the German word "Fähre" meaning "ferry".
