Quick bio

Omar Sy was born and raised near Paris, in a working-class family with West African roots. He started out in comedy, teaming up with friends for sketch shows and radio. His big break came when he moved into films and delivered a performance that made international audiences sit up and notice.

The 2011 film that changed everything was a heartfelt dramedy where Omar’s charm and warmth drove the story. That role earned him major awards in France and opened doors to global projects. Since then, Omar has balanced big French films with Hollywood roles and a hit streaming series that turned him into a worldwide name.

After that, check out his streaming series where he plays a clever, smooth character pulling off smart heists and emotional twists.
