Karim Abdel Aziz (Arabic: كريم عبد العزيز; born 17 August 1975) is an Egyptian actor and director. He is the son of filmmaker Mohammad Abdel Aziz and the nephew of director Omar Abdel Aziz. Abdel Aziz began his career as a child actor, appearing in his father’s film Attention, Gentlemen (Entabaho Ayoha Al Sadah). He later featured in two additional works directed by his father: Some Go to the Authorized Representative Twice (Al Baad Yazhab Lel Ma'zoon Marratayn) and The Suspect (Al Mashboh).[1][2][3][4][5]
Early life
Karim Abdel Aziz was born on 17 August 1975, in Agouza, Giza, as the elder of two children. He is the son of Egyptian film director Mohamed Abdel Aziz, while his mother worked at the Mass Culture Center. Growing up in an artistic environment influenced his interest in cinema. He studied at Collège De La Salle, a French school in Cairo, before joining the Higher Institute of Cinema in 1994, where he graduated from the directing department in 1997.[6][7]
Career
After graduating from the Higher Institute of Cinema in 1997, Abdel Aziz worked briefly as an assistant director. However, he soon realized his passion for being in front of the camera and decided to pursue acting instead of directing. His first appearance came under the direction of Sherif Arafa, who introduced him to the screen. His breakthrough role was in the television drama Emraa mn zaman el hob, chosen by actress Samira Ahmed. The success of this role led to several offers, and he soon landed his first leading role alongside Mona Zaki, Hala Shiha, and Ahmed Helmy in the film Leeh khalletny ahebbak.
