Sajid Kadhum Bouri al‑Bawi

From the news reports:

Qasim Bawi represented the family in several visits to a nearby US base, the first one a few days after the funeral.

At an officer's request, he brought letters -- from neighborhood and tribal councils, from an Islamic charity, and from the actors' union -- attesting to Bawi's good character.

According to his brothers, Bawi, like the rest of the family, welcomed the United States as liberators. "When Saddam was captured, he hired a band for the neighborhood," Qasim Bawi said. ...

a well-known figure in the neighborhood who ran a business renting tents and chairs for funerals. ...

Less than a month before his death, Bawi starred as Abbas, a founding figure of Shi'ite Islam, in a Sadr City production.
