William Nadylam was born on August 2, 1966, in Montpellier, France. However, his parents have roots in Asia and Africa. His father is from Cameroon while his mother is Indian.

While growing up, he spent time in different parts of the world like Cameroon, Reunion Island, and Belgium. He returned to South France when he was 13 years old and started his High school education at a boarding school.

The 58-year-old Set Out To Be A Doctor

Nadylam’s father was a pediatric and war doctor who had a great influence on him as a young child. From experiences he saw at the age of nine when his father helped accident victims at a crash scene, he had dreams of following in his father’s career footsteps by becoming a doctor.

Thus after high school, he enrolled at a medical school in Paris where he spent three years studying. However, things changed when he also applied to an acting school to encourage a friend he was helping with the process. Notably, he had also entered a dance competition to improve his dancing skill at about the same he got admitted to acting school.

This marked his change from a medical profession to acting. While this is a change of path for him, he considers his acting career a way of helping people.

How William Nadylam Became a Successful Entertainer

Having attended acting school, Nadylam launched an entertainment career as an actor on stage, on screen, and as a director later on. He made his on-screen debut in the 1988 movie Black Mic-mac 2 when he was just twenty-two years old.

After that appearance, he was not seen on screen till in 1997 when he appeared in the short film Tout le Monde Descend. He also voiced a part in the 1998 animated film Kirikou and the Sorceress, a movie about how a young boy saved a village from a witch.

Since then he took many roles both in the theatre and on screen. His big-screen break in the Fantastic Beasts series as Yusef Kama added to his popularity.

Away from his stage and on-screen role, he is also a director. He is credited for directing the stage plays Stuff Happens by David Hare, and David Mamet’s, Edmond.
