Biography

Simon Anthony Abou-Fadel's French/Lebanese father, Edward, and French/Egyptian mother, Françoise, settled in North Hollywood in 1969 As a kid there Simon poignantly remembers the nights he and his older brother would wait up to watch the family's garage door for the first flickering reflections from the screen of the nearby drive-in movie. From those nights, he marks his fascination with movie screens, with the actors who inhabit them, and with the industry that was then only a few streets away. Simon plays William Douchet in Chuck Russell's Witchboard and Jack Dalton in Jamie Foxx and John Eisendrath's Alert: Missing Persons Unit. He has landed roles on notable network shows such as Veronica Mars, 24, and Law and Order Los Angeles. Notable roles also include Adrian Holmes' lawyer in the English version of 19-2, Ed Greenstein in the reboot of iconic Canadian television show Street Legal, and working opposite Mia Kirshner in The Detectives, David James Elliot in Real Detectives and with Trish Helfner in Ascension.
