Life and career
Labib was born in Biba, Beni Suef.[2] Despite having graduated from the Institute of Theatrical Arts in 1970, Labib's career was delayed for a whole decade. First, he was drafted in the army for six years where he participated in the 1973 October War, earning the Order of the Sinai Star, and then travelled outside Egypt to the United Arab Emirates for four years.[3] His career truly started in 1981, when he acted in the play "The Bald Singer," which he followed with another stage production "The Hostages." Labib then worked profusely, in many supporting but memorable roles, with over 200 film and television credits. Though many of his screen appearances were brief, Labib performed admirably and showed himself to be one of the strongest performers of his generation. He appeared in 387 sequels (including series, film and radio) from 1988 until his death on 30 July 2025, at the age of 77.[4][5]
