With a Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the American University in Cairo Asser chose to follow his true calling and passion and pursue a career in acting. Mere serendipity revealed his talent and infatuation for acting when he was casted for a university play to replace an actor and so it all began and destiny took its course.Throughout his acting marathon Asser has been part of many reputable plays and starred in many short films such as the controversial and highly praised "Beit Men Lahm" directed by Ramy Abdel Jabbar.Director Khairy Bishara entrusted him with a role in "Qalb Habiba" (Habiba's Heart), the TV series that celebrated screen legend Suheir El Bably's comeback and that marked a beginning in Asser's serious acting career. Shortly, his cinema debut followed with small roles in box office hit "Omaret Yacoubian" (The Yacoubian Building) and the acclaimed "Haleem".With increasing exposure and continuous hard work Asser landed some highly applauded supporting roles such as Marei, the villain brother to Ashraf Abdel Baki, in "Ala Ganb Yasta" (Pull up Driver) and as Mo, the drug addict, in "Zay El Naharda" (On a Day Like Today), which unmistakably drew the attention on him as a versatile acting talent predestined for more to come. His first leading role alongside the great Mahmoud Yassin in the action film "Al Waad" (The Promise) written by none other than Waheed Hamid and directed by Mohamed Yassin gave Asser the chance to prove his skill and establish himself as a serious actor in the Egyptian film industry.With his latest release "Rasayel El Bahr" (Messages from the Sea) written and directed by Daoud Abdel Sayed, one of Egypt's most acclaimed filmmakers, Asser catapulted himself into totally new spheres within the film scene. In addition to being Dawood Abdel Sayed's comeback after almost a decade since his last film, it has been praised as one of the best motion pictures and received several awards at international film festivals.2015 proved to be a big year for Asser. His movie Aswar El Qamar finally hits the screens after a 4 year delay. The movie is directed by Tarek El Erian, and starring Mona Zaki and Amr Saad. Asser won best actor for his role in the movie in the Tetouan International Mediterranean Film Festival.In addition to that, Asser Yassin starring in 2 of the largest TV productions of the year, El Ahd, produced by Tarek El Ganainy, and 1001 Arabian Nights produced by Synergy Art Production.His new movie "Men Dahr Rageil" directed by Karim El Sobki is planned to screen in September 2015.
