Ismail was born in Tetouan in 1951, and graduated from law school before joining television in the 70s.

He presented many television and cinematic films, the most prominent of which were “Ashtam” and “After …” “Goodbye Mothers”, “Children of the Country”, “Frustration” and “La Mora … Love in Time of War.”

Journalist Adel Zobairi wrote on Facebook: “Moroccan cinema has lost a great professor, who intelligently manages the movements of the camera, and cultivates confidence in actors, whether veteran of the generation of adults, stars, or new faces that he presents to the public for the first time.”
