Youssef Mansour (actor)

He entered the Egyptian film industry by chance when he met director Ibrahim Afifi and was offered his first role in the movie El Agooz Wil Baltagi ("The Old Man and the Thug") in 1989.

[3] His first role in an Egyptian film was as a mute person in El Agooz Wil Baltagi ("The Old Man and the Thug") (1989), due to his difficulty speaking the Arabic language, as he lived in the US from his childhood until the age of 34.

[10] He believes the future of Egypt lies in its ability to promote a new face to revive wilting tourism and an unfavorable international image, instead of ancient civilizations and historical treasures.

In 2003, it was revealed that he would produce and star in Triple I, an action-packed drama that revolves around a good-looking rescue team of seven women and three men, who will – following the pattern of such adventure-based shows – chase criminals and save lives.

"I loved Baywatch and decided it was a good vehicle to promote many things in modern Egypt, to show beautiful beaches and the reefs, our underwater treasures," Mansour said regarding the series.
