Abdelhafid Metalsi, a talented Arabic actor of Kabyle descent and Algerian ethnicity, was born in 1969 and later became a French citizen through naturalization.
As a young child, he relocated to France at the tender age of one, specifically in the Champagne province, where he spent his formative years. During his childhood, he resided in the Orgeval district of Reims, which played a significant role in shaping his early life.
Abdelhafid's passion for acting led him to undergo rigorous training at the prestigious Chaillot National Theater. This esteemed institution provided him with the ideal platform to hone his craft, both on stage and in television productions. His impressive repertoire includes notable roles in popular shows such as Spiral season 4, broadcast on Canal+, and Spin on France 2.
However, it is his iconic portrayal of Captain Kader Chérif, the lead character in the French police series Cherif, that has cemented his reputation as a skilled and versatile actor. The show has been a staple on the France 2 network since its premiere on October 25, 2013.
