Biografia

Kal Naga (aka: Khaled Abol Naga) is a Multi Award-winning Actor, Producer, and Director from Egypt, based in California. He is a well-established movie star in the middle-east and considered one of the top talents of his generation, his work extends from Film, TV, to Theatre, and Radio and TV hosting. He has been a lead in feature films since his first lead role in "A Citizen, An Informant & A Thief" by Egyptian acclaimed director Daoud Abdel Sayed in 2001.

As an actor he collected numerous Best Actor Awards from his home country Egypt, European & International Film Festivals since 2001, culminating in a historic winning of ALL-important Best Actor Awards offered in his home country Egypt in 2014 (Egypt's National Film Festival, Film Society Festival for Egyptian Cinema, The Catholic Centre festival for Egyptian Cinema) for his critically acclaimed portrayal of a terminally ill older man: Hussein in "Villa 69". In the same year, Naga won The Best Actor Award (Silver Pyramid) from the prestigious Cairo International Film Festival CIFF for his role as a Palestinian father searching for his daughter in the Palestinian Oscar's submission "Eyes of a thief" (Lead Actor), as well as other several regional awards for "Villa 69" including the Best Actor Award from Festival Cinema Africain Khouribga, Morocco.

Naga's English speaking work started gaining momentum since he moved to California in 2017, where he appeared in the main role (Al Kady) in the Fox TV show "Tyrant", then his enigmatic appearance in the BBC TV mini-series "The Last Post", to a much-celebrated guest-star appearance in The History Channel TV show "Vikings" season 5 in 2019

In a film festival in 2016 celebrating Arabic film submissions to the Oscars, he was honored for being the most submitted actor in Arabic film submissions to the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film (The Oscars). He is often tagged in western media as Egypt's "Brad Pitt" for his many career similarities with the latter, Also tagged as the next "Omar Sharif" especially after his American debut movie Civic Duty in 2007, he was also tagged as "Egypt's International treasure" for his unprecedented courage advocating for freedom & standing up against injustice in his home country Egypt, He also has a very celebrated and successful career across the Middle-east TV networks as a TV & radio host in prime-time shows from 1997 till 2005.

Famous for his unexpected yet smart choices of scripts & roles, Naga created a vast & diverse filmography with unprecedented wide acclaim from critics & audiences throughout the Arab & international film societies creating a unique phenomenon in his generation of actors, almost all of his films have an "exportable" nature to other cultures. He created special attention to his choices and subtle yet deep performances.
