Areski Nebti (Arabic: أريسكي نبتي) born on May 5, 1926, in the Belcourt district of Algiers, is an Algerian actor and assistant director. Arezki Nabti is often spelled Arezki. A major figure on Algerian television and film, he is known for the name of one of his characters, Moh Bab El-Oued, in Abdelkader Bouritina's film El Hozi. From a young age, he was passionate about theater and cinema. He appeared on the radio shows of Mrs. Lafarge, aka L’la Tassadit, who had created a children's program where she trained young talents, girls and boys, mainly from Kabylie. From his school emerged true talents such as Kadri Seghir, Arezki Nabti, Smaïl Si Ahmed, Ahmed Halit, Madjid Bennacer, and Saïd Hilmi. In 1963, he made his film debut. He went on to star in classic post-independence Algerian films, ranging from dramas to comedies, including Mohamed Slimane Riad's The Way (1967), Tewfik Farès's The Outlaws (1969), Inspector Tahar, The Hanged Man's Inn (1969), Mohamed Slimane Riad's Sanaoud (1972), Mohamed Slimane Riad's The South Wind (1975), Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina's Chronicle of the Years of Embers (1975), Merzak Allouache's Omar Gatlato (1976), and Mahmoud Zemmouri's From Hollywood to Tamanrasset (1990). Areski Nebti died on April 28, 1994, of a heart attack at the age of 68.
