I remember him well as a great actor in Midnight Express, RIP,” one wrote on Facebook.
“Few remember him in Rifky’s masterful performance in Midnight Express. Rest in peace, you were great,” a second penned.

“A great actor, Leonardo da Vinci in Nothing Left to Do but Cry. It’s a shame that all the older ones are slowly passing away, it’s natural. R.I.P.” a fourth lamented.
A fifth added: “I saw him again recently in “Christ Stopped at Eboli” by F. Rosi. A wonderful actor, he will be missed by our cinema.”
Meanwhile a sixth opined: “I ‘hated’ him in the role of Rifki in Midnight Express and loved him in Johnny Stecchino, which I saw because I was a fan of Benigni, but I’m seeing him again for his extraordinary acting; he’s essentially a great actor.”
