Rosaline Elbay (Template:Lang-ar) is an Egyptian actress and writer.[1] She is known for her roles as 'Amani' on Hulu/A24 Films series Ramy and as 'Sara' on MBC Masr series Qabeel.[2][3][4][5][6] In September 2021, she was announced as a principle cast member of the Netflix series Kaleidoscope (under the working title Jigsaw).[7][8]

Early life

Elbay was born and raised in Cairo to Egyptian parents.[9][10] She read Classics at Oxford University and completed a master's in Colonial History.[11][9] She then studied at the Actors Studio New York City with Elizabeth Kemp and obtained her MFA in Acting from LAMDA.[12][13] Her career began in UK theater with a focus on Shakespeare.[10]

Career

In 2018 Elbay starred in Diamond Dust, the feature-film adaptation of Ahmed Mourad's bestselling novel, and Fork & Knife, which premiered at the 2018 El Gouna Film Festival .[14] She was also the subject of the music video for "Fakra" by Massar Egbari, an Egyptian band that rose to prominence during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, as the love interest of lead singer Hany Dakkak.[15][16][17]

Since 2019, Elbay has starred as Amani in Hulu/A24 Films series Ramy, Ramy Youssef's eponymous Golden Globe and Peabody Award-winning show which follows a first-generation American Muslim on a spiritual journey in his politically divided New Jersey neighbourhood.[18][19][20][21] The series premiered at the 2019 South by Southwest Film Festival and holds an approval rating of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.[22][23] Season 2, co-starring Mahershala Ali, premiered in May 2020.[24][25][26]

Also in 2019, Elbay received critical acclaim for her MENA region television debut as Sara, the partner of protagonist Tarek (Mohamed Mamdouh), on MBC Masr's Qabeel, and won the Al-Wafd Critics’ Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best New Face.[27][4][28][6][29][30][31]

Elbay hosted the opening ceremony of the 2019 El Gouna Film Festival, during which she wore a dress made of recycled plastic that was hand-worked by refugee women sponsored by the UNHCR.[32][33] She has since continued advocating for the organisation, participating in the first MENA-region round table on The Role of Art and Culture in Addressing Displacement.[34][35]

The Cairo International Film Festival appointed Elbay as its face for young filmmakers during its 40th and 41st Editions.[12][36] Her screenplay, "Garlic", was developed at the Festival’s TV Development Workshop.[37][38]

Elbay was starring in MBC Masr’s 2020 series Luebat Al-Nesyan, directed by Hani Khalifa.[39] However, she left the show mid-filming for health reasons and the rest of her role was shot with Asmaa Galal.[40]

In September 2021, Elbay was announced as a principle cast member of the Netflix series Kaleidoscope alongside Giancarlo Esposito, Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell, Tati Gabrielle, Peter Mark Kendall and Jai Courtney. Her character Judy Goodwin is described as “the crew’s demolitions specialist, headstrong and independent — an eccentric spitfire with a sarcastic edge who is clever and talented enough to stay a step ahead of her mistakes.” The series has commenced shooting in New York.[7]

In October 2021, Elbay also revealed that she is starring in an animated role and executive producing an unnamed project, both not yet announced.[10]

In August 2022, Elbay was announced to star off-Broadway in the world premiere of Dodi & Diana opposite her Kaleidoscope co-star Peter Mark Kendall.[41]
