from typing import Dict, Any, List

def slice_dict(original_dict: Dict[str, Any], keys: List[str]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    return {key: original_dict[key] for key in keys if key in original_dict}

# Example usage
data: Dict[str, Any] = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}
sliced_data: Dict[str, Any] = slice_dict(data, ['a', 'c'])
print(sliced_data)  # Output: {'a': 1, 'c': 3}
