Biography

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".
