Yassin Bakoush


So I finally got around to drawing and coloring another Syrian TV character portrait in my own comic-book style. This time I chose to draw Yassin Bakoush.

Yassin Bakoush was a Syrian actor who rose to fame in the early seventies after playing a likeable but naive hotel concierge on the sitcom Sah El Nom. His character on the show was also called Yassin Bakoush. Apparently, the show producers thought the actor's real name was funny enough so they didn't think it was necessary to change it.
