Omar Bemmani was a fellow waiter of Samir Rachid at The Casablanca restaurant where Samir had got himself a job. Omar quickly took to the new arrival and said that he would help Samir to get a better job in the establishment which was run by a Mr Rachid - no relation to Samir, who had cannily used the name to convince the owner that he was a distant relative and persuaded him to give him the position in the first place. Soon afterwards, Samir left The Casablanca for a better-paid job at a Spanish restaurant. The character was credited as “Osmar Bemmani” on his first appearance.
