Nameer El-Kadi

Nameer El-Kadi (b. 1952), sometimes known professionally as Nicholas Kadi, is a Turkish-born actor and suit performer who played An Ape Named Ape in George of the Jungle. He also operated Mother Badger in the HDPS project Frances and appeared as a toy army soldier in the Nightmares & Dreamscapes episode "Battleground," directed by Brian Henson.
His TV credits include appearances on the likes of 24, Murder, She Wrote, ER, Alias, Glee (as a mime instructor), and The Young and the Restless, as a variety of nationalities but most often as stereotypical Arab terrorists. Film credits include suit or make-up work in Quest for Fire (as caveman Gaw) and Congo (as a gorilla), plus a handful of movies where his face is seen (again, often in stock parts, like Abu Ben Shaheed in Navy Seals and "Saudi Prince" in Me, Myself and I).
El-Kadi appeared on Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge as a puppeteer and suit performer for three episodes.
