Hesham Selim, who was born in 1958, made his acting debut in the popular movie Emberatoriet meem (or “M” Empire in English) in 1972 alongside the well-known actress Faten Hamamah. He is still praised for this portrayal.
In his five-decade career, Selim has collaborated with several well-known Egyptian actors and actresses on numerous hit movies and television shows. His most recent project, the spy thriller series Hagma Mortada (Counterattack), which debuted during Ramadan last year, received a lot of positive reviews and quickly rose to the top of the season’s viewership.

Zaki claims that an actor’s funeral procession will take place later on Thursday in the upscale neighborhood of Sheikh Zayed in Greater Cairo, where Selim had formerly resided.
