Mohammed Altawyan

Mohammed Altawyan, man, what a name in Saudi entertainment. Born way back in ’45 in Buraydah—Al Qassim, for those who know their maps—he just had that knack for leaving a mark. The guy didn’t just act, he wrote too. And not the “dabble in a little poetry” kind of writing; he was out there shaping some of the most iconic stuff on Saudi TV. If you grew up in the ‘90s or even just caught reruns, you’ve definitely bumped into “Tash Ma Tash.” It’s basically the OG Saudi satire show—everyone watched it, everyone quoted it. Mohammed wasn’t just some background extra either; he was right in the thick of it, making people laugh and, honestly, probably getting a few folks riled up. Gotta respect that. But he didn’t stop there. Fast forward a couple decades, and boom: “Night Courier” pops up in 2023. Not gonna lie, seeing him pop up in something new after all those years? Kinda wild, kinda awesome. Shows he never really left the game, you know? And let’s not forget “Almashi” from 2011, another notch on his belt. Dude just kept on going, kept on making stuff happen. He passed away in Buraydah, same place he started, in 2025. Full circle. Feels poetic, honestly. He’s the kind of guy people’ll talk about long after—sorta legend status.
