Tayseer Idris: I don't mind playing the role of Bashar al-Assad.

Actor Tayseer Idriss spoke about his stance on the possibility of portraying former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in an artistic production. He also commented on the state of the Syrian Artists Syndicate and his opinion on the mechanism for appointing its head, Mazen al-Nattour.

Tayseer Idris will play the role of Bashar al-Assad.

Idris said in a television interview that he "wouldn't mind portraying Bashar al-Assad in an artistic work if he liked the script," noting that he is "an actor who will deliver whatever is asked of him based on the dramatic script."

He pointed out that an actor's job is to perform a variety of roles, and explained that portraying such realistic characters in artistic works "is not linked to political or moral considerations," noting that he has performed more cruel and evil roles.

Idris pointed out that he is not afraid of the audience's reactions as long as he is convinced of the acting role, noting that he presented "dangerous, different and powerful acting roles" during the era of Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Idris's opinion on the Artists Syndicate in Syria

Regarding his opinion on the Syrian Artists Syndicate, Idriss said that things "should have followed a transparent electoral path that allows all members to run freely, with the winner becoming the head of the syndicate."

Commenting on the recent attempt by artist Nour Mahna to remove the guard from his position, he described the incident as "untrue from the start, and that the outcome was a reflection of a flawed management approach that began with the guard's appointment."

He added, "The Prime Minister's Office appointed Mazen Al-Nattour, and this in itself is a mistake, and a fundamental one. Transitional elections should have been held, followed by fair and free elections. In all countries of the world, unions are completely independent of the state."

Great success in "Under the Seventh Earth"

It is noteworthy that Idris shone last year through the character of “Al-Ajan” in the series “Under the Seventh Earth” through the character he presented alongside the star, Tim Hassan.
