Biography

Ismail Yasin Ali Nakhla was born in Suez on September 15, 1912. He endured a difficult and unstable childhood, leaving primary school after his mother passed away and his father was imprisoned. His first job was as a chanting salesman’s assistant outside a shop, which helped him develop his voice and inspired him to pursue singing, influenced by the legendary musician Mohamed Abdel Wahab. He performed at weddings and cafés before moving to Cairo to join the Badee’a Massabny acting troupe. This exposure led filmmakers to notice him. His first role was given by Fouad al-Gazayerly in the 1939 film “Khalaf el Habayeb” (Lover’s Offspring). Ismail later joined Aly al-Kassaar’s troupe and gained fame as a brilliant monologist.

As his popularity grew, he became one of the rare actors to have a series of films named after him, including "Ismail Yasin fel-Police" (Ismail Yasin.. Policeman), "Ismail Yasin fel-geish" (Ismail Yasin.. In the Army), and "Ismail Yasin fel-tayaraan" (Ismail Yasin.. In the Airforce). In the 1950s, he formed a troupe with Abul-So’oud al-Ebiaary. Some of his well-known plays include “Habeeby Koukou” (My Darling Koukou) and “Al-mofattesh al-aam” (The Inspector General).

When the film industry declined in the late 1960s, he moved to Lebanon where he took on minor roles, a pattern he continued upon returning to Egypt before passing away from a heart attack. Ismail Yasin is regarded as a unique and exceptional figure among Arab comedians. He was known for humorously mocking himself and his appearance in his films. Although some critics and viewers saw him as a farcical clown, his enduring popularity and the admiration for his performances across generations of Egyptians and Arabs have secured his legendary status.

He passed away in May 1972. His son, Yassin, was a film and television director (1949–2008).
