Played by Ashraf Barhom gave one of the best performances in a movie I have ever seen. I loved his character and thought he did a great great job in this movie. He really does need to get more acting jobs I would love to see him more movies. I hope he gets another chance.

Faris is the one who takes this movie way beyond what we ever could have expected. He is so dedicated and competent and has so much dignity. It is beautiful to watch the mutual respect grow between Faris and the agents, particularly Fleury.
Ashraf's acting was Oscar level, plain and simple.
The movie was awesome. I instantly said that Farris deserved an oscar nom. Best performance of the film.
shareYeah he's a fairly minor actor as of now that has only gotten Arabic roles in major films (Paradise Now, The Syrian Bride) but he shows he's capable of so much more than that.
It's a shame to just put him to use in these type-cast roles all the time.
When the Defecation hits the Oscillation.
I fully agree. He was equally fantastic in 2009's Agora.
shareI just watched the movie Lebanon the other night and even though Ashraf Barhom has only a very small role i was very impressed by the guy and am now planning to watch The Kingdom just to see how he is in it. He looks like a cross between Lee Van Cleef and Jean reno. Seems like a pretty cool dude. Hopefully we get to see more of him in bigger roles.
I'm the bad guy?
How did that happen?
Really reminded me of Lee Van Cleef, I was expecting Clint Eastwood to show up any second.
