If you're a fan of the popular British soap opera EastEnders, you'll probably recognize Davood Ghadami as the charming and lovable Kush Kazemi. But the talented actor has now set his sights on Hollywood, as he has landed a role in an exciting new drama.
Ghadami will be joining the cast of the upcoming Prime Video series House of David, which tells the story of the biblical figure David who rose to become King of Israel. The show will follow a young David, played by Egyptian American actor Michael Iskander, as he transitions from a humble shepherd to a powerful leader, all under the guidance of the prophet Samuel.
Ghadami will be taking on the role of David's oldest brother Eliab, a skilled warrior in King Saul's army. This is not the first time Ghadami has played a character named Eli, as he previously portrayed Doctor Eli Ebrahimi in the popular medical drama Holby City. However, his time on Holby City was short-lived as the show was recently cancelled after 23 years on air.
Fans of EastEnders were devastated when Ghadami's character Kush Kazemi met an untimely end at the hands of Gray Atkins, who pushed him in front of a train during a dramatic showdown. Many viewers were disappointed with the way Kush's storyline ended, feeling that a character as beloved as him deserved a stronger and more impactful exit.
But Ghadami's career has continued to flourish since leaving EastEnders, as he has taken on various roles including his brief stint on Holby City and a guest appearance on the drama series Beyond Paradise. However, the news of Holby City's cancellation came as a shock to many, with the final episode airing earlier this year in March.
In a statement, the BBC expressed their pride in the long-running series but also explained that they had to make room for new opportunities as part of their commitment to producing more diverse and representative programming across the UK. While fans may be sad to see Holby City go, they can look forward to seeing Ghadami in his new role in House of David and any future projects he takes on.
In the meantime, EastEnders fans were in for a surprise when a major character made an unexpected return to the show. And the tears were flowing for fans of Phil Mitchell, as the character's fate was seemingly sealed in a series of 45 pictures. It's clear that Ghadami continues to be a part of the EastEnders family, even as he embarks on new and exciting opportunities in Hollywood.
