Omar Bentaleb, of Moroccan origin, was born in Larachee in 1997. He comes from a humble family of many siblings who moved to Spain when he was 6 years old. In his childhood he was taking theater classes, but he had to abandon them in his adolescence to be able to help his family. He was “without papers” for many years and this closed doors for him. Cinema was always his refuge, to see stories that moved him to other worlds so different from what he was living. His favorite actor was always Luis Tosar and his great dream was to dedicate himself to the world of cinema. But it was not until 2018 in the neighborhood of La Florida (Barcelona) that he was given the opportunity to do a casting for a series that was going to be called LA UNIDAD, fearful but determined Eva Leira and Yolanda Serrano saw his great potential and Vaca Film gave him his first opportunity.  Finally I got the legal status as a resident in Spain thanks to the help of Marta Roda Moruno, and in LA UNIDAD met the actor Hamid Krim who generously always helps me in my new tests. Thank you Hamid Krim
