Another great one leaves us. Samir Chamas passed away leaving behind a legacy of films, TV, but also cartoon dubbing (Baba Sanfour or Papa Smurf being the most iconic). Whereas he was cast in different characters, I will always remember his as the villain in which he excelled. Also Chamas belongs to that old breed of actors with impeccable pronunciations, very deliberate "makharej al 7ourouf" (or how letters are uttered), and a specific timbre of voice. As I said, his legacy is too varied, too long and he graced us with so many works. RIP.
