  • In the space of two years, French actor Tahar Rahim has transformed himself completely to inhabit a pair of drastically different characters, the iconic French-Armenian crooner Charles Aznavour, and Amine, a man engulfed in drug addiction who is dying of a mysterious disease. The latter performance is the force behind Julia Ducournau's allegorical drama "Alpha"

Tahar Rahim, known for his transformative roles, discusses his approach to acting and his latest projects in a Yahoo Entertainment article. He emphasizes the importance of shedding his own identity to fully embody his characters, a process he finds both challenging and rewarding. Rahim's recent work includes starring in the Netflix series "The Serpent," where he plays the notorious serial killer Charles Sobhraj, and the film "The Mauritanian," portraying Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a man detained at Guantanamo Bay. His dedication to understanding and authentically representing his characters has earned him critical acclaim and a reputation for being one of the most versatile actors of his generation.
