Abud Kadid is Armenian Catholic. His last name used to be "Kadidian", but when his great-grand-father ran away from Turkey and immigrated to Syria after the 1915 Armenian Genocide, the name was changed to "Kadid". Aleppo (Syria) is a known city for hosting an important Armenian population (250,000).Abud started acting in summer 1994. He wanted to be an actor since he was eighteen. Friends at work were telling him that he was naturally funny just by being myself.This made him research and ask around for advises in what would be the next step. Entering that craft, he followed improvisation classes for a year.Then, he wanted to improve his acting so he took a Shakespeare class with the opportunity to perform "King Henry The Fifth". The direct contact with a theater audience made him feel so much "alive" and, performing live, a drug that would be difficult to live without.At that time, he wasn't yet convinced he could have the artistic freedom to be able to move and touch people as he wanted. So he went back to acting classes at the Actor's Studio Montreal (ASM). There, he developed his improvisation skills and abilities to analyze a script.When leaving ASM, he was absolutely impatient make acting a daily basis reality. That is when he started to participate in student films. One of his funniest performances was to play a monk obsessed with "Ping Pong Balls" in the short of the same title.He also thought that joining a school of performing arts would help him getting more leading parts... which it did. One of the most important experiences was while working on a movie, and during the break time, he performed a run through that moved one of the actresses to the point that she cried. That unexpected emotion convinced him that acting will always be part of his life.That actress referred him to an independent theater producer and director, Iain Stoen, that was putting together a theater play, "Family Manor". "Family Manor" has received T.V. and newspaper coverage.Meanwhile he also auditioned in NYC for the ABC show "All My Children". He managed out of 2150 audition competitors to be in the fifty Last actors to be selected. The last noticeable experience was in a drama called "The Tenants", based on a Broadway play.
