Adam told Arabstoday: “I’m very happy to take this part and represent the character of Dr Mostafa Mahmoud in a TV series. He is the model of the creative scientist in many fields, in addition to his character which is full of drama.” Adam added: “I met Dr Mostafa Mahmoud long before his death, and I found myself imitating him so he liked me and I replied saying that I’d like to play his character in a drama show, so the Dr smiled.” Adam explained that he is now studying the character of the late scientist through reading his books and watching his TV programmes.
