Career

[edit]

Mohamed featured for the first time in films in 1990 in Hanafy the Wonderful at age six years old. He went to Jesuites (CSF) school before he entered the American University in Cairo. He studied theater, and acted in many roles in the university. One of them was Atawa in El Maghmati's play for the director Mahmoud El Lozy.

Imam played his first role out of the university when he took part in the Egyptian series Kanaria and Shorkah as Ashraf Sayed El Ousy (Hany Awaad Abd El Mohsen). The Egyptian director Marwan Hammed selected him to play the role of Taha in The Yacoubian Building (2006), based on the novel of the same name.[4] This was the first of many productions in which the younger Emam acted alongside his father.
