Veteran Egyptian actor Sayed Sadek, known for his striking features and memorable supporting roles, has passed away at the age of 80, his son, screenwriter Louay El Sayed, confirmed. Funeral prayers will be held today following Friday prayers at the Police Mosque in Sheikh Zayed City, with burial planned at the Fayoum Road Cemetery. Despite holding only a high school diploma, Sadeq carved out a successful acting career marked by his unique presence. His career spanned both cinema and television, featuring notable work in films such as 'Keda Reda', 'El Embrator', 'Hassan and Marcus' and 'Fawzia the Bourgeoisie'. He also appeared in several popular TV series, including 'Yetrebi Fi Ezzo' and 'Fere'et Nagy Attallah'.
Sadek's contributions to Egyptian drama were also recognised beyond the screen, having recently received a special honour at the second Cairo Drama Festival in Alamein two years ago.
