Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz

Born 15 June 1985 · Cairo, Egypt · 41

Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz is a young artist known for his handsome face that looks very similar to his father’s at the beginning of his career. He didn’t know that he would one day be an actor in the world of cinema, despite the fact that his father is one of the most famous actors in the history of Egyptian cinema, Mahmoud Abdelaziz. Karim got his start by way of a video camera - one of his hobbies was to film and make movies with his friends. His talent led him to boldly interrupt his father’s meetings with directors Essam El Shama and Mohamed Abdelaziz to show them what he’d created with his camera. Essam was impressed with his talent, and after a few days, director Mohamed Abdelaziz chose him to act in the film “Shagaret El Ahlam (Tree of Dreams). Karim insisted on starting his career in cinema without assistance from anyone, even his father who objected to his son’s way of doing things. But Karim’s performance in the TV series “Ragil Min Zaman El Alouma” (Man from the Age of Globalization) made Karim’s father acknowledge his son as an actor. Karim participated in a number of films and TV series, including “El Nazzer” (The Observer) in 2000, the series “Mahmoud El Masry” (Mahmoud the Egyptian) in 2004, and “Ahzan Mariam” (Mary’s Sorrows) in 2006.
