Egyptian actor working across Hollywood, Gulf and Egyptian film and television. Based between Dubai and Cairo.
Introduc-
tion
I was born in Giza in 1989. I studied Computers and Information Science at Cairo University, graduating in 2009, and I've lived between Dubai and Cairo since 2012.
My break came when director Renny Harlin cast me in The Misfits, opposite Pierce Brosnan, Tim Roth and Nick Cannon. Since then I've worked on Hollywood, Emirati, Saudi and Egyptian productions, and on festival films that went on to win awards.
Before acting, I competed. Greco-Roman wrestling for Egypt's national team, American football for the UAE national team, then bodybuilding up to IFBB Pro. I bring that discipline to every set.
