After nearly 10 years of absence from Egypt, the name of actor Hisham Abdel Hamid has returned to the spotlight again, amid discussions about the possibility of his return to the country and resuming his artistic activity.

News about his anticipated return has sparked widespread reactions, after writer Mustafa Abdel Majid announced the matter in a post on his "Facebook" account, mentioning that the Egyptian actor "has returned to the land of Egypt," ending years of absence from the Egyptian artistic scene, which Hisham Abdel Hamid re-shared, receiving a large number of congratulations.

Art critic Tarek El-Shenawy quickly welcomed the actor's return, directing a message to the head of the Actors Syndicate, Ashraf Zaki, expressing his hope for intervention to remove any legal obstacles that may prevent Abdel Hamid from renewing his membership in the syndicate.

Essentially, the issue of Abdel Hamid's membership in the Actors Syndicate dates back to 2017, when head Ashraf Zaki announced his removal from the syndicate's records due to failure to renew his membership and pay dues, in addition to not practicing the profession, as was announced at the time. In 2021, the Administrative Court upheld the removal decision.

However, Hisham Abdel Hamid's post on "Facebook" was not accompanied by an actual return to Egyptian territory, as writer Mustafa Abdel Majid returned to give statements contrary to Egyptian media, considering that what he wrote was a "pulse check" on the extent of the Egyptian audience's acceptance of the news of his return.

He also clarified that Abdel Hamid is indeed studying the step of returning to Egypt, but he has not finalized it yet, waiting for some approvals, in addition to his desire to know the possibility of resuming his artistic career and returning to work in Egypt, noting that he "did not attack Egypt and its president" during his time abroad.

It is worth mentioning that the Egyptian actor left Cairo years ago and, during his years abroad, appeared on screens associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Throughout his artistic career, Hisham Abdel Hamid participated in a number of cinematic and dramatic works, including the films "The Love of Snakes", "Love in Taba", "Criminal with Honors", "The Minister", "A Difficult Mission", and "Difficult Days", in addition to the series "The Time of Roses", "A Little Love, A Lot of Violence", and "With Red Wax".
