Nadim Joakim Sawalha (Arabic: نديم صوالحة; born 9 September 1935) is a Jordanian-British actor. He has made over 100 appearances in film and television, in a career spanning more than 40 years, which include two James Bond films, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and The Living Daylights (1987). He is the father of actresses Nadia and Julia Sawalha.
Sawalha was born in Madaba, Jordan, in 1935[1] and moved to the United Kingdom in the early 1950s to study drama.[2] His daughter Julia revealed on her episode of Who Do You Think You Are? that he is uncertain of his birth date, but it is thought to be around 7 to 9 September.[3] His brother is comedian Nabil Sawalha.[citation needed]
