Ahmed Aly Elsayed

Child actor and snooker champion returns to the stage on Broadway. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, Elsayed taught himself snooker and went on to win the Egyptian Championship in three consecutive years. In 2005, a vacation trip to New York City and a serious romance with a young American lady were the catalysts for a major transformation to U.S. residence and citizenship. Elsayed continued his pursuit of snooker and succeeded in winning his first of four U.S. National Snooker Championships in 2009. He then made history as the first player to win three consecutive U.S. National Snooker Championships.
