Despite graduating from the Institute of Theatrical Arts in 1970, Labib’s career faced a decade-long delay due to his six-year military service and four years spent abroad. His career truly began in 1981 with his performance in the play The Bald Singer, followed by The Hostages. Labib has since become a prolific actor, known for his performances in supporting roles. He has appeared in 387 sequels, including series, movies, radio shows and more, since 1988, solidifying his reputation as one of the most talented performers of his generation.
