Al Mukadam (born Ali Mukaddam; April 6, 1984) is a Canadian actor.[1] He is known for his performance as Ray Brennan in the Family Channel television series Radio Free Roscoe (2003–2005).[2]

Career

[edit]

Mukadam started his career as a child actor, starring in several Canadian television series,[1] including Mythic Warriors: Guardians of the Legend, Anne of Green Gables: The Animated Series, and Degrassi: The Next Generation. He transitioned into more mature roles with his performance as high school student Ray Brennan in the Family Channel television series Radio Free Roscoe (2003–2005).[2]

In 2015, Mukadam starred in the independent film People Hold On, as part of an ensemble cast that included Chloe Rose, Katie Boland, and Paula Brancati,[3] which was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award.[4] That year, he also starred and co-produced the comedic web series We Are Disorderly, which premiered at a screening in Toronto that was attended by Drake and other Degrassi alum.[5][6]

In 2016, he appeared in the feature film Miss Sloane, opposite Jessica Chastain.[7] The film had its world premiere at the AFI Fest on November 11, 2016,[8] and also screened at the Napa Valley Film Festival on November 13, 2016.[9]

In 2018, he played a supporting role in the CTV police procedural television series The Detail.[10][11] Developed by Ley Lukins who served as co-showrunner and co-executive producer alongside Adam Pettle, The Detail was a 10-episode adaptation of the UK smash Scott & Bailey and starred Grimes-Beech as street-smart Detective Jacqueline “Jack” Cooper, who has keen investigative skills but a messy personal life. It was cancelled after one season.[12]
