Emirati artist Bilal Abdullah has succeeded in securing an important place for himself on the scene thanks to his talent that has been honed by many years of work and the experiences of roles and dramatic and comedic characters in theater and television, to leave an impact on the memory of viewers. Abdullah believes that the real actor is the one who can make immortal personalities in the audience, and therefore is keen to diversify, and provide various roles, in his dialogue with «Emirates Today», to the situation of the Emirati representative in light of the limited opportunities available to reach the Gulf and Arab audiences, considering that The main responsibility rests with the local TV channels, which in recent years have moved away from supporting the Emirati actor as required.
Productive poverty
Abdullah stressed that the Emirati actor suffers from the issue of productive poverty, and then having to wait for the Ramadan season to get the opportunity to appear in limited local works, and therefore it is difficult for the local productive bodies to choose the Emirati artistic faces participating in it.
He added: “Emirati dramas are still suffering from internal obstacles and problems related to their marketing operations between local TV channels, as it is very little that these works will be broadcast outside the Ramadan showtime, thus wasting on the actor and artist another opportunity to appear on its national screens throughout the year, in The time when there are supposed to be joint agreements between the local screens to market local works and encourage their follow-up, and then present the Emirati artist in an optimal manner. ”
New expression styles
Technically, Bilal Abdullah does not stop devoting the experience of diversity, and trying to search for artistic appearances in Gulf or Arab foreign works, believing that the actor and the creator in general should strive to present his talent and introduce it, as his participation, finally, in one of the episodes of the comic series "Darwishiyat" with The artist Abdel Nasser Darwish, in which he was the guest of honor for the work, his work and his constant search in the various new roles that he plays, about the addition that makes the difference.
Abdullah said: «I am working on creating new patterns of expression, by working on the external details of the character, and then living with it and understanding its internal potentials, and the emotional feelings, emotions, or conflicts that it conflicts with, according to the nature of each character or dramatic role presented to me. In addition to making use of my vocal abilities in the field of vocal coloring and working on each character with a specific pitch that matches the details of its nature ». On the experiences of diversity he devoted throughout his career in the drama in particular, and the options in which he mastered the game of transformation, Abdullah continued: «The real actor who mastered his talent in the outcome will create immortal personalities who dig into the memory of the audience, and make his success, and praise be to God, I succeeded in Most of the works she participated in presenting characters whose names were engraved in the audience’s memory, such as the selfish man’s name (Mubarak) in the series “A grain of sand”, the character (Al-Nakhuda Al-Sultad) in the series “Al-Qiyadah 2”, and even the personality of the madman (Saqro) in the series “Tawash”, Which differs from the crazy character that I presented at the beginning of my career in the (beautiful) play by director Jamal Matar.
The story of "Sunkah"
On the personality of "Sunkah", which he presented last Ramadan in the series "Bint Soghan", Abdullah said: "Perhaps it is the first time that three cute thieves are presented in this desirable comedic way in Emirati and Gulf drama, and this matter was clear since the first meeting with the author Jamal Salem, who presented me with the idea of participating in the series, along with Jum'a Ali, Mansour Al-Faili, and some of the Emirates stars, relying on the idea of the work in which his writer, through the idea of thieves, has devoted a more comprehensive societal message that raises the idea of excessive kindness, and the necessity of caution from strangers Those who take advantage of our kindness and generosity to do dishonorable acts that harm us. ”
He referred to his long work on the cute "Sunkah" character, for which he prepared the kit very early before the shooting started, explaining: "After my first reading of the work scenario and the personal details (Sunkah), I drew the external features of the character, and I raised my mustache as it appeared on The screen, to be closer to the personal details (Sunkah), the brown and riotous skin that baffles the Freeg ».
