Prime Video’s latest series, Off Campus, has taken the world by storm, and we can’t stop thinking about it. The college-set romantic drama follows a love story between a music student and a star hockey player. Between fake relationships, trauma, and the complexities that come with adulthood, love lingers in the air, and that’s what gets us hooked every time.
Although the series stars Ella Bright as Hannah Wells and Belmont Cameli as Garrett Graham, two characters have caught our eye: Allie Hayes, played by Mika Abdalla, and John Logan, played by Antonio Cipriano.
And upon some digging, we’ve figured out that they both have roots that tie them back to Lebanon, just giving us all the more reason to be obsessed with them! And one last fun fact… they share the same birthday! Our Arab twins! Love to see it.
With all that said, we would like to officially rename Off Campus to ✨Arab Campus.✨
Who is Mika Abdalla from Off Campus?
Mikayla Sofia Abdalla plays Allie Hayes, a vibrant, theatre-loving college student at Briar University. In the series, Allie proves to be a loyal, positive, supportive, and selfless best friend to the lead character, Hannah Wells. Throughout the show, we get peeks into her life as we watch her navigate her own relationship struggles with Sean McCall.
But what is Mika’s story?
Mika was born and raised in Plano, Texas, as a first-generation American with roots in Lebanon, Greece, Italy, and more. She began her career as a model and actress at the age of six, eventually landing her a role in Netflix’s Project Mc². More recently, the actress has starred in numerous movies that led her to this viral series, which is catching the world’s attention.
What’s next for Mika Abdalla?
Mika is set to star in season 2 of Off Campus as the lead character, alongside Stephen Kalyn, who plays Dean Di Laurentis, her love interest. Season 1 already made us love her, but Season 2 is about to do that all over again, x2!
Who is Antonio Cipriano from Off Campus?
John Logan, played by Antonio Cipriano, is an easygoing and party-loving jock with so much charisma that he has us smiling at the screen while we munch on more snacks. While John is fun, funny, and charismatic, he serves as an anchor to the main group of friends. He is loyal and trustworthy as a best friend to the lead character, Garrett Graham.
But what is Antonio’s story?
Antonio Cipriano is an American actor and singer of Lebanese-Italian descent. This was confirmed by his sister who commented on a TikTok! The Off-Campus star is best known for his appearances on Broadway, including In Pieces, and for previous acting roles, such as Oren Bradler in National Treasure: Edge of History and Buck Renna in Harlan Coben’s Shelter. Cipriano also balances his acting and Broadway career with his singing career, bringing us releases like “Bloom” and “Runaways”.
What’s next for Antonio Cipriano?
Antonio, alongside Mika, is set to continue his role as John Logan in the second season of Prime Video’s Off Campus. The production is already underway, which has us sitting at the edge of our seats waiting for the next release date. We can also hope for new music releases and performances from the star. 🙏
