Adam Bessa (born 1992) is a French-Tunisian actor,[2][3] known for his roles in French and Hollywood productions such as Reda in The Blessed (2017), Kawa in Mosul (2019), soldier Yaz Kahn in Extraction (2020) and its 2023 sequel, and Abbas Naziri in the Amazon Prime Video series Hanna.

[7] What he proposed in the exercises was too "cinematic", and he was told that he showed too little and wasn't expressive enough, so he quit and went back to Marseille to work as a real estate agent and then as a fishmonger, his other passion.

[10] Bessa kept working as a fishmonger in Marseille even after starring in The Blessed because he did not want to settle in Paris, where he didn't feel good and was wasting away.

[11] In 2020, he played mercenary Yaz Kahn in the American war film Extraction, directed by Sam Hargrave.

[14] Bessa will next star in Meryam Joobeur's Who Do I Belong To (Mé el Aïn), a film about a mother and daughter in an isolated Tunisian village.
