About me
View profile
Zaher Alchihabi is a Berlin-based German-Syrian actor known for his intense physical presence and cross-cultural versatility. A classically trained artist, Zaher holds a diploma from the Theaterakademie Stuttgart (2024) and refined his on-camera technique at the prestigious ISFF Berlin (2025).

Positioning himself at the intersection of European discipline and Middle Eastern authenticity, Zaher brings a unique "hybrid identity" to his roles. His background in Martial Arts, Boxing, and Kung Fu allows him to tackle physically demanding roles with precision—a quality that complements his dramatic depth.

As a voice talent, Zaher is a market-ready expert in the Levantine (Syrian) dialect—the industry standard for top-tier Arabic dubbing. He demonstrated this expertise by dubbing the lead role in the award-winning film "The Odd-Job Men" (Sis Dies Corrents), contributing to its Gaudí Award success.

Before establishing his career in Germany, Zaher studied acting in Aleppo and Economics, a journey that imbues his performances with genuine resilience and worldly maturity. He is available for projects in Germany and internationally.
