Ahmed's professional odyssey commenced as a Youth Program Coordinator at the venerable Bedlam Theater in Minneapolis, where he played a pivotal role in a diverse array of theatrical productions, including but not limited to poetic performances, and made significant contributions to the organization's overall artistic endeavors.
Ahmed's multifaceted endeavors extended beyond the theatrical realm, as he also dedicated himself to a most noble cause: a concerted effort to boost enrollment for MNsure, a cornerstone of Minnesota's healthcare infrastructure, thereby underscoring his unwavering commitment to the well-being of his community.
The narrative of Ahmed's casting call is a truly remarkable and extraordinary tale, as he was fortunate enough to be chosen, alongside three other exceptionally skilled and accomplished actors, from a vast pool of over 700 highly qualified and talented participants who attended a 2011 audition held at the Brian Coyle Community Center, a prominent and well-known community hub located in the heart of Cedar-Riverside, Minneapolis, a city rich in cultural diversity and artistic expression.
Debbie DeLisi, a renowned casting director, vividly recalled the distinctive qualities that set apart the four select individuals from the rest, describing them as an extraordinary assembly of exceptional talent that stood out in a sea of aspiring performers, dubbing them "the chosen ones" - a select group that had been anointed with a special gift, a group that had left an indelible mark on her memory, and one that had stuck out in a most striking manner.
Ahmed's ambitions propelled him to the City of Angels in the early months of 2014, driven by an unyielding desire to refine his acting craft in the iconic metropolis renowned for its rich cinematic heritage and the limitless opportunities it presented for aspiring performers.
In the year 2016, Ahmed seized the opportunity to collaborate on the cinematic production "A Stray", a venture led by the esteemed filmmaker Musa Syeed, thereby underscoring his steady progression and accomplishments as a thespian.
