JAMAL ANTAR

Jamal Antar was born in the south of France to immigrant parents. He knew how to make a name for himself in his neighborhood (Le Mirail “La Faourette”) where one had to be strong, smart, loyal, and a brawler. He wanted to change his neighborhood lifestyle because most of his friends died, or went to jail. He always had a passion for American Cinema. Courageously, he got on a flight to Los Angeles, California and the rest was history. He wanted to live the “American dream.” But for this he had to learn the English language, and manage on his own in a city that’s 12 times the size of Paris! His savings dwindled down day by day on rent, car, gasoline, insurance, gym, phone bill, etc. He couldn’t afford the apartment, so he started sleeping in his car, taking showers at the gym and doing several small jobs to make ends meet. After two and half years of sleeping in his car, he finally began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. He began playing in different television series and other actor projects. He played in The Mandalorian (Star Wars) as an Alien Prisoner; in Seal Team as Guest Cast Akm Soldier, Ncis LA as mafioso, Mayans M.C., …

Now, he lives the “American dream” with the same determination as he had on the first day he arrived to the States. But also he knows that it always takes hard work, respect, punctuality as the main attributes to long successful career in Hollywood.
