Ahmad Shaker, Egyptain Actor With Good Looks

Egyptian actor Ahmad Shaker doesn't do easy roles, while most actors in his generation behave and not act, they say just simply lines and do what they do in real life. Ahmad on the other hand is into complex roles. His biggest TV roles was doing Farid Al Atrach, the legendary Syrian composer. Ahmad Shaker's portrayal of that role is flawless.

This Ramadan this well educated actor is taking a role that has almost never been done before, taking in the biopic TV drama about a world famous Egyptian scientist "physicist", Moshrafa Moshrafa. While there are very few world famous Arab scientists, Ahmad found no trouble in taking this character in "A Man For This Time" "رجل لهذا الزمان" and bringing it to life. Moshrafa was the youngest PhD to be hired at the time, just under the age of 30. He was a big advocate for developing nuclear based energy in Egypt and that's why his death is the subject of many conspiracy theories.

The show has received robust reviews and a lot of praises for the actor whose credential for the job is his interest in science, country and being able to speak English.

The TV drama focuses on eduction and how politics corrupts it, it also shows what needs to be done to build a proper country away from religious influence and political pressure. There's a lot of history in this work, it took a year and half of hard work to bring this drama to air. And the great thing, they actually filmed in London.

One thing Ahmad Shaker doesn't do is, movies. He says the type of movies they are making in Egypt are of commercial nature, cheap laughs and some sleaze and you get a box office hit. Ahmad doesn't do that he acts and likes to do serious movies. He might be appearing in one soon, but not soon enough.
