Abuhajaj is a teen actor living in Sweden. 6 years ago, he, together with his  family, moved from Dubai to a small town in Sweden. Having to learn a foreign language, acclimate to a new society and leave his support system and family at home all at the age of 11 was, needless to say, the hardest thing he’s ever done.

With a passion for learning and exploring, he quickly found his new self in this new country. He brings this same passion to improve and to grow, into everything that he does and it has helped him tremendously as an actor as he has a sea of experiences and stories to draw from. 

He started acting in school plays and smaller productions in Dubai when he was a child. After moving to Sweden, and having learned the language, he jumped back into the business with a refreshed and goal-oriented mind. He joined his local community theatre where he has been taking weekly classes for the past two years and is proud and excited to say that he has a play coming up this spring!

He has taken a 6-month improv class to expand his improv abilities as well as an acting class in Stockholm specifically to learn the differences between camera and theatre acting.

His main focus right now is breaking into the Film and TV industry. So far, he has worked on a Head and Shoulders campaign, an educational film for Sweden’s national mental health committee and a small but powerful commercial for his hometown all which he booked this summer. In the future he sees himself doing a lot of international work as an actor and a producer where he can really put his English and Arabic skills to use. He has an undying passion for this business and the stories it could tell. He finds it so amazing how life changing a movie or a play can be to someone and would love to tell as many stories from as many different walks of life as possible.
