Here is a brief biography of Antoine Kabbaj: Antoine Kabbaj was a Lebanese actor and theater artist, born in the village of Zbouga, at the foothills of Mount Sannine, Lebanon, to a Lebanese family. His father was Shukri Kabbaj, and his mother was Erasama Karam. He was the eldest of four boys and one girl. He received his education in a public school and later studied history and geography at the Teacher's Institute before graduating from the Jesuit University.
His acting talent appeared at the age of nine when he began writing (sketches) and performing them with neighbors and relatives at his home. In the late 1950s, while studying history at Saint Joseph University, he began his theatrical activity on the university stage. However, his first significant theatrical work took place in Morocco through the play Atlal wa Layl. He later collaborated with Monir Abu Dibs until 1968, when he joined the Rahbani brothers. He also appeared in many films, starting with Garo in 1965 and Safar Barlek in 1967. Despite this, his debut in drama came later, in 1974, through the TV series Les Miserables.
Antoine married poet, journalist, and artist Lur Gharib in 1966, and they had three children: Walid, Rola, and Mazen.
