Enjoying his success, Waleed Elgadi

One of the UK's most talented performers, Waleed Elgadi

Sudanese-born thespian, Waleed Elgadi, is a UK actor who has enjoyed considerable commercial success since the beginning of his professional career in 2002. According to imdb.com (the Internet Movie Data Base) which tracks an artist’s credits through the course of a career, in a very short span of time, Waleed has accomplished more in 15 years than most actors do in a lifetime. Training began as a scholarship winner at prestigious Hurtwood House College in England; followed by classical training at Mountview Academy of the theatre Arts, after an honors degree in English and Philosophy from the University of Liverpool. Post academia, Mr. Elgadi started building a steadily impressive acting resume. He continues today to excel in the television and film industry from England to Hollywood having worked on both sides of the pond for such well respected names as the BBC, HBO, ITV, Film4, 20^th Century Fox, Studio Canal, Playtone, and Scott Free Productions to name a few.

 

He has summoned success also in adjunct venues such as voiceover and radio mediums, as well as his first love, the eternal theater. He has been inspired by film icons ranging from contemporary actors such as Tim Robbins, Christopher Walken, Kevin Spacey and Michael Sheen, to screen legends who endure through decades, like Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Street, Robin Williams and the inexorable Tom Hanks. One of Waleed’s greatest ambitions became a reality when he co-starred opposite career role model, Hanks in the Tom Tykwer feature film “Hologram for the King”, due to premiere in 2015.

 

With a prodigious amount of work and experience already under his belt, Waleed Elgadi has a line-of-sight target of film production under his own emblem, newly formed production company, aptly named, Newborn Productions. It would appear that this is no mere work-for-hire actor … but rather, an entrepreneurial double-threat as both producer and star of his own projects!
