Ghazi Al-Takritee

Born: 1930-06-05 • Baghdad, Iraq

Renowned Iraqi artist and actor, Ghazi Al-Tikriti, born in 1930, excelled in cinema, theater, and television. Despite lacking formal academic training, his natural talent shone through in various performances. Al-Tikriti joined the National Acting Troupe in the mid-1960s and played significant roles in numerous theatrical productions, notably in "Al-Mutanabbi."

He became one of Iraq's prominent actors in cinema and television, making his debut in 1955 with the film "Fatanah wa Hasan." His filmography includes "Taswahan" (1958), "Al-Jazaa" (1970), "Al-Zama'iyoon" (1972), "Al-Tajribah" (1977), and "Al-Aswar" (1979). In television, he participated in well-known series such as "Muhitat Al-Thakira" and his last TV work, "Hikayat Al-Mudun Al-Thalatha," directed by Mohammed Shukri Jameel.

Al-Tikriti contributed to the theater with notable works like "Hfla Samr" (Samr Night). In 1996, he retired from artistic life, living in solitude, exacerbated by the loss of his eldest son. In 1997, after illness and seclusion, the great artist Ghazi Al-Tikriti left us, leaving behind a splendid artistic legacy. His exceptional performance in "Al-Mas'ala Al-Kubra" remains a source of pride and a subject for study and contemplation for generations.
