Hameed Sheikh

Hameed Sheikh (Urdu: حمید شیخ) is a Pakistani film and television actor,[1][2] director, producer,[3] and professional language translator.

In film and TV, he is best known for Khuda Kay Liye, Operation O21 and Moor[4][5] Since 2022 Hameed Sheikh has performed as on-set language and cultural consultant for the US series The Old Man, starring Jeff Bridges.

[6] Hameed Sheikh has worked for years to bring his native Pashtun, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern society into better focus via film and television, while lamenting the lack of government support within these cultures.

[10] Sheikh was approached by Jami, director and writer of Moor,[11] to play the role of an old man whose family was affected by the closure of a railway station in Zhob Valley, Baluchistan.

He described his role as "genuinely challenging," but didn't charge a fee for the project since he believed the film would open doors for young actors of Baluchistan.
