Kida Khodr Ramadan (born 8 October 1976) is a German actor, director and screenwriter. He has won several awards for his portrayal of Ali "Toni" Hamady in the German drama series 4 Blocks.[1]

Kida Khodr Ramadan was born in 1976 in Beirut, Lebanon, the fifth child of a Mhallami family. His father, Mohamad Ramadan, was a successful businessman representing Persil Lebanon. As the Lebanese Civil War worsened—particularly in East Beirut, where they lived—relatives were killed and Mohamad was injured by shrapnel, prompting the family to flee. They chose Germany after securing the first available visa and initially lived in an asylum hostel in West Berlin’s Kreuzberg district. Mohamad later worked at Burger King before opening his own steakhouse restaurants.[2]

Ramadan went to the Hector-Peterson-Gesamtschule school in Kreuzberg.[3] He said high school did not interest him and he left without qualification, and entered the local hip-hop and breakdance scene. He partook in street performances with Turkish and Arabic-speaking youths at Kurfürstendamm and elsewhere.[4]
