He looks a lot like an old Greek actor, Spyros Fokas

His mother seems to be an ethnic Greek living in Egypt and his father was Lebanese Christian. Of course he could pass on southeastern Europe.

Why don't you ever put Afghanistan as an option?

I do now, but back then I thought they looked like Pakistanis and Indians.

Yes but back then I had to admit you were pretty ignorant for a guy who had never met an afghan in his life. But that's the past now, now you know afghans are no different from other middle easterners on average.

There are many more Turks who look Levantine than there are Greeks who do. But in general Greeks and Turks would look more alike...

Half Lebanese, half Egyptian. He can pass in both countries though.

I've heard in Dr. Zhivago, Sharif had his eyes taped and his hair straightened. Not only that he had his hair shaven at the hairline in order for his forehead to appear taller and more European. His hair is naturally quite frizzy.

I think he mainly fits in the Levant. Therefore I picked Lebanon.

Zero negroid influence.

Zero negroid influence.

He does indeed look purely caucasoid. Something rare for an Egyptian, even for a half Egyptian.

That's not rare for an Egyptian. Most are Caucasoid.

Most show signs of residual negroid mix, mostly Aethiopid, unless you don't consider Aethiopids black.

Well most don't, and anyway most Negroid admixture in Egyptians would be rather Bantu, or Nilotic from medieval to modern slavery. If by Aethiopid you mean Cushitic type, then it is a basically Caucasoid type, but slightly transitional to Negroes. However most Ethiopians also show real Negroid admixture, dating back to the Bantu expansion, and slavery, along with Semitic influences in some Ethiopian groups, so they aren't a purely Cushitic population.

Well, anyway, thank God Egyptians remain mostly caucasoid. It's rare to see an Egyptian with much negroid mix like El Sadat. Most look a mix of Berber, pure Cushite and Arabic types, which is what they are. I might travel there the end of this year, I'll see them first hand.

I watched him, when originally featured on the big screen theaters, in both Dr Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia. In Dr Zhivago he blended in quite well as a wealthy doctor of Tsarist Russia who suffered in the transition into the Bolshevik USSR. In Lawrence of Arabia, he looked like a natural, among the Arabs who fought with Lawrence.

Egyptians look part Horn African to me which is Caucasoid but with residual SSA.
