He was handpicked for the role of "Muhammed" in Michael Zile's
"Betonhjerter" (Hearts of Concrete), because he was in many way the
same as Muhammed's character - he lived in the most infamous of ghettos
in Denmark, and was a reformed criminal, now living a life without
crime. He had no experience with acting but still managed to pull off a
very empressive performance in the film.
