Syrian actor and producer, born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He studied at the Higher Institute of Performing Arts in Damascus. He joined the Syrian Actors Syndicate in 1985. He started his career in Cairo, where he appeared in several Egyptian works, including the series The Horse directed by Karam El Naggar. After that, his artistic works varied between theater and television, and between Syria and Egypt. In 2000, he established his own production company, which produced many important works, including the series Asmahan (2008). He won many awards during his artistic career. He also held the position of Secretary of the Film and Television Industry Committee in Syria from 2004 until 2008
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
