Shortly after graduating from LAMDA in 2013, securing leading roles in Egyptian films, and nabbing best young actor at the Egyptian Oscars in 2009, El-Masry appeared in Jon Stewart's debut feature, "Rosewater". With roles in "The Night Manager" alongside Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, and Olivia Colman through to the critically acclaimed BAFTA-nominated miniseries "The State" and more recently in the binge-worthy, high-stakes BBC drama "Industry", El-Masry is slowly establishing himself as an emerging British talent.
