Biography
Biography
Abderrahmane began as a technical operator and cameraman. Before embarking on the adventures of Inspector Tahar, he appeared in the theatre with Allel El Mouhib, who was his drama teacher. Abderrahmane played the monk in the play Montserrat by Emmanuel Robles. He was a parish priest in Fusils de la mère Carare. His social life, his childhood, his nature, and his deepest feelings were related to the drama but the performance was seen as comical overall. In 1967 he starred as Inspector Taher in the film L'Inspecteur mène l'enquête, directed by Moussa Haddad which spawned several sequels, including The Inspector Tahar's Holiday (Les Vacances de l'inspecteur Tahar) (1973) and The Inspector Tahar Scores The Goal (L'inspecteur marque le but) (1977). He was preparing to shoot Le cadavre du domaine when he died on October 5, 1981, in Paris.
