If longevity counts for anything, Karim Belkhadra is a French actor whose accumulated screen time beats that of most leading names. Neither the cinema nor the television half of the career can be called the side project. Samir in 'La Haine' is the role that outgrew the rest. He also turns up in 'The Crimson Rivers'. It began in 1995, at the age of 32. Comedy is where the largest part of the work sits.
