Hisham Tawfiq
Television & Film Actor, Known for NBC's "The Blacklist"; Retired NYC Firefighter, Former Marine & Mental Health Advocate
Hisham Tawfiq is an American actor best known for his role as Dembe on NBC's "The Blacklist." Tawfiq's journey to acting came after a diverse career, including serving as a Marine in Operation Desert Storm, working as a New York City firefighter for over 20 years, and performing as a dancer with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
Tawfiq is excited to participate in speaking engagements or masterclasses. They are a golden opportunity for students and corporations to learn directly from this talented actor, gaining invaluable life lessons, and leaving inspired to pursue their passions with unwavering determination.
"Hisham's passion for the art of theater and desire to share that with others overflows in his presentations. From the workshops to the time that he spent in personal conversations with our students was remarkable and their reaction to him represented a highlight of their young acting careers. Our students marveled at their time with him and his care and attention in talking with them about their aspirations. His presentations are authentic, engaging, and genuine. Hisham is a gift and blessing to the acting community and to humanity." - Dr. Todd Allen VP for Diversity Affairs at Messiah University
Bringing Tawfiq to speak isn't just about hosting a renowned actor; it's about providing people with a transformative experience that will stay with them long after the event concludes.
