Khaberni - Who said that being light-hearted is easy? It is one of the most challenging tools for an actor because it requires intelligence in timing, sincerity in feeling, and a presence that reaches the heart. This is what Waseem Kuzk did in the character "Mishmish" in the series "Mawlana".
From his first appearance, "Mishmish" seemed like a man simple to the point of naivety, kind-hearted, outside the calculations of deceit and conflicts. A spontaneous, yet calculated performance, light-hearted without being contrived, and laughter that reaches the viewer without exaggeration. Yet, the brilliance of Kuzk did not stop at the limits of comedy but gave the character a deeper human dimension, leaving the door open for an expected dramatic transformation as the events progress, raising the audience's anticipation for any turn that might change the course of the work.
Although the role is not a traditional heroic space, his presence was notable and impactful. "Mishmish's" phrases were repeated on the lips of the viewers, and clips of his scenes spread on social media, generating curiosity among a wide array to follow the series fully, just to discover this character.
The beautiful irony is that "Mishmish" himself is "Mazen" in the series "Under the Seventh Earth" - two characters at opposite extremes:
"Mazen" is a heavy and complex character, saturated with internal conflicts, performed by Kuzk with high sensitivity that makes you live every detail with him.
As for "Mishmish," he embodies a completely different energy, a fresh spirit and a special flavor that confirm that a true actor is one who can change his skin from one role to another without losing his artistic identity.
This smooth transition between two contrasting worlds does not come by chance, as beside his presence in front of the camera, Waseem Kuzk takes on the tasks of casting and preparing actors, and he is a professional coach with clear experience in character building and creating the fine details that enhance the strength of any work. When talent meets experience, the result is a coherent performance not dependent on fleeting success, but on an artistic accumulation that proves itself season after season.
An actor of this kind does not just steal the scene, but delivers a lesson in character building even in a single shot. His diversity, presence, and ability to convince the audience regardless of the role size, make him a candidate for leading roles in upcoming seasons.
In an era where faces and performances often blend together, Waseem Kuzk proves that diversity is the secret to continuity, and that a character built with intelligence and feeling is unforgettable.
