Youssef Boulos (Arabic: يوسف بولس ; born 22 December 1994) is a Lebanese film actor and producer.
Youssef was born in Chekka in North Lebanon on 22 December 1994 to Jean Boulos and Najat Semaan.[1]
Career
Boulos' first leading role was in Father Fady Tabet's play ʿAfwaki Ya Ummi (Sorry Mother). The company toured in various countries, including Jordan and Australia.[2][3] In 2017, he played the lead role of aspiring actor Nadim in Serge Majdalani's Take my hand.[4] Boulos appeared in the 2018 Lebanese series Habibi al-Ladoud (My sworn ennemy lover), and in the 2019 production Akher el-Layl (Night's end).[5][6] In 2020, he appeared in the Syrian-Lebanese comedy series Mayyada wa Wlada (Mayyada and her children), along with Syrian star actress Shukran Murtaja.[7][8]
In 2021, he played the role of a drug dealer in all seven episodes of the true crime Saudi thriller miniseries Rashash (Machine gun).[4] The series, which is set in ultra-conservative 1990s Saudi Arabia, was described as a groundbreaking, and a benchmark for the local film industry.[9][10]
In 2022, Boulos starred in the Emirati-Lebanese psychological thriller Farah (Joy),[11][12] where he plays The Reporter, an unnamed personage who appears to be the product of the protagonist's confabulations.[13] Farah garnered favorable reviews and won the Special 10th Anniversary Award for Best Feature Film at the 2022 New York’s Chelsea Film Festival,[14][15] Best Feature Film award at the Lebanese Independent Film Festival.[16][17] At the Alexandria Mediterranean Film Festival, the movie won the Best Arabic Film award and the Mahmoud Abdel Aziz Best Art Direction prize.[18] The film also won the Best Feature Film Award at the Lebanese Film Festival Canada.[14] Critics also praised the performances of actors Boulos and Atala.[11][19][3]
