Nameer El-Kadi



Nameer El-Kadi (b. 1952), sometimes known professionaly as Nicholas Kadi, is a Turkish-born actor and suit performer who played An Ape Named Ape in George of the Jungle. He also operated Mother Badger in the HDPS project Frances and appeared as a toy army soldier in the Nightmares & Dreamscapes episode "Battleground," directed by Brian Henson.

His TV credits include appearances on the likes of 24, Murder She Wrote, ER, and The Young and the Restless, as a variety of nationalities but most often as stereotypical Arab terorists. Film credits include suit or make-up work in Quest for Fire (as caveman Gaw) and Congo (as a gorilla), plus a handful of movies where his face is seen (again, often in stereotyped parts, like "Saudi Prince" in Me, Myself and I).
