Over the years there’s been a lot of different versions of tv shows based on the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) but as actor Zeeko Zaki https://www.instagram.com/zeekozaki/?hl=en  told me recently when he was in Toronto his new series FBI https://www.globaltv.com/fbi/showschedule/n debuting tonight on Global Television  https://www.globaltv.com/   (Tuesday September 25th, 2018) at 9pm expect a lot of action mixed with drama.  He told me “the real FBI has changed since the days of John Edgar Hoover suit and tie white guy types.  This FBI represents todays diversity in America and thats what they want to portray”.  He also added “even the crimes they investigate will be different from what you’ve seen on other cop shows like law and order.  The FBI has changed and so have the criminals”.  To get his training he met 5 agents from the Bureau and he says what he learned from the real FBI is that “their not these dark brooding loners but people who are enthusiastic in helping people and solving these problems”.
