Syrian ‘Bab Al Hara’ actor Muhammad Al Shammat dies aged 85

Syrian actor Muhammad Al Shammat has died in the US aged 85.

The Syndicate of Artists in Damascus confirmed the Bab Al Hara star’s death.

Born in 1936, Al Shammat began his artistic career in theatre, and was one of the first members of Syria’s National Theatre.

Al Shammat enjoyed a prolific career in television and cinema that spanned more than five decades. His small-screen works included the shows Harat Al Qasr, Wadi Al-Misk and Trabeesh.

However, the actor is perhaps best known for taking on the role of the vegetable seller Abu Marzouk in the show Bab Al Hara.
