With his experience onstage, Waked managed to film his first role on the big screen in 1998 when he joined Ossama Fawzy's of "Gannet El Shayateen". Waked's award winning performance paved his way to become a popular actor famous for his gravity and vast range.

  • Quotes
    [on the influence on filmmaking of the 2011 'Arab spring'] It will be a new page in the industry of filmmaking and art in general. I think all revolutions, even if they don't achieve all of their goals, achieve freedom of expression. We're like a little chick. We just broke the egg. We didn't come out yet but it's a matter of time.
