Hadj Abderrahmane

October 12, 1940

Hadj Abderrahmane (in Arabic حاج عبد الرّحمان), known as Inspector Tahar (in Arabic المفتّش الطّاهر), born in the Télémly district of Algiers, Algeria, on October 12, 1940 and died on October 5, 1981 in Paris, is an actor and Algerian theater man. Heir to Rachid Ksentini, Mohamed Touri or Don Quixote, full of resources and audacity - Hadj Abderrahmane did theater with Allel El Mouhib who was his teacher. This is how he played the monk in the play Monserrat by Emmanuel Roblès. He was parish priest in the Fusils de la Mère Carare. His social life, his childhood, his nature, his deepest feelings carried him towards drama, but the public decided otherwise and steered him, willy-nilly, towards "corrosive comedy". This is how his adventures with his accomplice Yahia Benmabrouk alias the Apprentice of the TNA - began in 1967 with The Inspector leads the investigation carried out by Moussa Haddad with whom he will be in tandem for a long time. With his sketches, he traveled from East to West the country without counting the direct on TV. With its conservative corners, the character is very modern and stuck to social realities. He was about to shoot "The Corpse of the Estate" when death surprised him on October 5, 1981 in Paris.
