Hesham Rostam, a famous Tunisian actor who also starred in the series “Salman Farsi” directed by Dawood Mirbagheri, died yesterday.
Charso Press: The Tunisian Ministry of Culture announced that Hesham Rostam, a Tunisian actor who played in international films such as “The English Patient” and “Salman Farsi” series, died yesterday at the age of 75.
The cause of his death has been declared natural.
Regarded as the most influential Tunisian actor of his generation, Rostam began acting while studying in France and worked as a performer at the National People’s Theater.
He entered the cinema in the mid-1970s and appeared in dozens of Tunisian, French, Italian, English and German films.
The comedy film “Paparazzi” in 1998 by Ellen Berberian and the drama “Black Gold” by Jean-Jacques Annan in 2011, which were filmed in Tunisia, are among these films.
He was first seen at the Cannes Film Festival in 1989 in the category “The Golden Horseshoe”.
Rostam returned to his hometown in 1988 and starred in a series of domestic films and TV shows. He also managed the Carthage Theater Festival for two seasons.
Thanks to his maternal grandfather, who always took him to see the show, Rostam became interested in acting since childhood. Born in a family of Turkish origin in Lamarsa, Tunisia, he received his university degree from Sedighi College in Tunis and went to France to complete his studies and graduated in literature from the Sorbonne University in Paris and stayed there for several years.
