Mohammad Nizar

The Jordanian drama is best known for its sustainability where a plethora of activities take place all year-round. The well-established connection between the film and entertainment industries was a key factor that invited Netflix to invest in making its first Arabic original series, the supernatural drama Jinn (2019), which marked Mohammad Nizar's first foray into serial dramas. Before starring in Arab TV dramas and films, Mohammad Nizar first established his name through international works; such as director Jon Stewart's American film Rosewater (2013) which was headlined by Mexican star Gael García Bernal. In 2016, Nizar participated in a number of award-winning short films; Catharsis by Sondos Mustafa, Namous by Samer Battikhi, and director Said Zagha's award-winning Five Boys and A Wheel which stars international actor Ali Suliman. He also starred in the two TV series; Oboor by director Mohammad Hushki, which premiered on Abu Dhabi TV in Ramadan 2019, and Weapon Without Murder, which screened in the same year. In 2020, Nizar starred in a number of projects, namely: Gaza Mon Amour by directors Tarzan and Arab Nasser which landed its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and marked Palestine's official submission to the International Feature Film category at the Academy Awards 2021. He also starred in the two shorts; The Ghosts We Left at Home, which screened in a number of international festivals in 2020, and Selahy, where he landed in the leading role. His upcoming works include the new film One Like Him, which is directed by Caitlin McLeod and headlined by Kais Mashef.
