Born in Egypt, Hamada's journey began, with his formative years spent in Germany. A sports injury served as a catalyst, redirecting his path towards the world of acting. This serendipitous turn of events led him to enroll at the esteemed Oxford School of Drama in England, where his passion for the arts and theatre flourished.
As his talent and dedication earned him recognition, Hamada was cast in various stage productions, including Spinning Into Butter, Hamlet, and Guantanamo, at The West End and The Royal Court Theater in England. His impressive theatre credentials paved the way for his foray into film and television.
Hamada's big-screen debut came with the film Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow, where he shared the screen with the incomparable Angelina Jolie. This breakthrough role was followed by his television debut in the mini-series "Path to 9/11," alongside Harvey Keitel and Donnie Wahlberg. His subsequent appearance as a series regular on "State of Mind" marked a significant milestone, ultimately leading to critically-acclaimed roles in "Homeland," "24," and the mini-series "The Dovekeepers."
Hamada's recent endeavors include portraying Eammon on NBC's "Emerald City" and his upcoming role in the Starz series "Counterpart," an espionage thriller with a metaphysical twist. When not captivating audiences with his acting prowess, Hamada is an avid Dahn-yogi and dedicates his time to "The Wolf Connection," a youth empowerment program and wolf dog sanctuary.
