Elie Mitri (born 26 January 1980) (Arabic; ايلي متري) is a Lebanese actor, writer and stand-up comedian.
Film/TV Mitri graduated from the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts in 2003. In 2006, he gained public attention when he starred in Falafel, directed by Michel Kammoun, a film that follows a young man experiencing a series of nighttime events in Beirut, which attracted international notice. In 2009, he portrayed Saint Charbel Makhlouf in the biographical film Charbel: The Movie, offering a grounded depiction of one Lebanon’s Maronite saint. He later appeared as the romantic lead Karim in Habbet Loulou and May in the Summer, as the drug-addicted Cherif in Horoub: Escape (2012), and as Max in Max w Antar (2016), a comedy centered on a young man and his dog. Mitri also worked on several independent and commercial productions that engage with socio-political themes in Lebanon, including Chatti Ya Dinni, Void, and Mahroumin: The Deprived (2017).
Mitri co-hosted Crazy Science with Nancy Iskandar, an hour-long family program featuring chemistry demonstrations and science experiments, many of which were performed on Mitri himself. He later described the show as one of his proudest achievements, noting in an interview that its positive influence on children made the work especially meaningful.
