But it wasn't until his first stage performance years later with the Char "Actors" Improvisation Theater Company; founded by, Roni Dengel, Fredrick Rolf, and the late Adolf Caesar, that Shiek fully understood the depth of his love and passion for acting. While working alongside actor Morgan Freeman, it was suggested to Shiek that he learn as much about the business as possible.
