MOHAMED MELLALI

Mohamed is a Moroccan actor born in Mohammedia, Morocco.  

Mohamed discovered his passion for acting by chance after an audition for a short film for which the director Neus Ballús was looking for real plumbers and he was selected from more than 1,000 professionals. 

After a brief acting training, he gave life to the character of Moha, one of the protagonists of the short film SIS DIES CORRENTS that earned him the Best Actor Award at the Locarno Festival, Switzerland in 2021.  

But that would not be his only beginning as an actor because shortly after the director Neus Ballús counted on him again for the same character but this time in her feature film SIS DIES CORRENTS, two years of arduous acting preparation and rehearsals together with Neus Ballús and the acting coach Gerard Oms earned him the 2022 Gaudí Award for Best Male Actor.  

His dream is to combine his current work as a plumber, which has given him a lot on a personal and professional satisfaction since his arrival in Spain at the of age of just 15 years old, with that of an actor and to continue training whenever he has the opportunity and time.  

Mohamed lives in Cornellá de Llobregat, Barcelona.  

He speaks Berber, Arabic, Spanish and Catalan, as well as climbing, horse riding, cycling and motorcycling.
