In this episode of My Fame, Explained, host Larry Gilbert sits down with the dynamic and multitalented Mohamed Karim — a true global force in entertainment. From humble beginnings in Cairo to starring alongside Nicolas Cage, Heather Graham, and Stephen Dorff in the upcoming Lionsgate Western Gunslingers (in theaters April 11, 2025), Karim’s journey is anything but ordinary.Mohamed shares the gripping story of how, at just 16 years old, he arrived in Los Angeles alone, speaking barely any English, and talked his way into El Segundo High School with the simple phrase, “Me attend school here?” That bold step launched a remarkable career that now spans continents and genres.We dive into his acclaimed performances in international hits like Shahata’s Store, Stolen Kisses, and Facebook Romance, which earned him multiple Best Actor awards across the U.S., Egypt, and Europe — including honors from the Arab Film Festival, the Egyptian Oscars, and Monaco’s International Film Festival. Karim also opens up about his time hosting The Voice Arabia, his unexpected journey through medical school, and the power of relentless self-belief.Plus, Mohamed teases what’s next: a series of upcoming films including Storm, Desert Crossing, Tarot, Blooded, and One Love, as well as his highly anticipated conversation at the 2025 Arab Film Festival in LA with filmmaker Brian Skiba.Whether you’re a fan of international cinema, aspiring to break into Hollywood, or just love a good underdog story, this episode will leave you inspired to chase your dreams — no matter where you start.Follow Mohamed Karim on ⁠Instagram⁠.Follow Larry Gilbert on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the My Fame, Explained podcast on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube
