SOMETHING PRETTIER THIS WAY COMES ... JUST AS SOON AS I FINISH TEACHING MYSELF WEB DESIGN ... HELP ALWAYS WELCOME!
IN THE MEANTIME IT IS WHAT IT IS ...
My parents are Jordanian and Egyptian, I was born in Libya, raised
in America, lived in London, have been based in Amman long enough to be fluent
in Arabic but I'm not - which make me a great listener – and travel so much it's hard to know where to call home
... which suits me just fine.
I have a BA from New York University, studied acting with Robert
Modica and Shauna Kanter in New York, have taken various workshops in various
things, and have learned all sorts of random things through random learning experiences. I work mainly as
a filmmaker, writer and actor, although I engage in other things as well.
I’ve been active in the American, UK, and Jordanian film, television and
theatre industries since 1988. Behind the scenes I’ve worked in various roles
with Warner Brothers, Disney, ABC and HBO as well as my own and other
independent short films, music videos and documentaries.
In front of the camera
I’ve acted under the direction of Stanley Kubrick, Oliver Hirschbeigel, Spike
Lee and many others, as well as in British and American television programmes.
In addition to several feature and short film scripts, I also write articles
which have appeared in British and Jordanian publications.
I speak enough Arabic to get what I need and sometimes what I want,
practice yoga, want to live on a beach in India someday, love making things
with my hands as long as it doesn’t involve cooking, travel a lot because I love
it and it’s the only way I can learn what I need to learn to live in this
world, am a collector of things – my favourite of which are the things people
say (see In Other Words) – and am always on the lookout for kindred spirits ...
