The late great actor Omar el-Sherif was the first to discover Masry; Sherif advised Masry to start acting in Egypt first in order to be an international actor.

In 2008, Masry started his acting career in Egypt through his participation in the famous Egyptian comic movie “Ramadan Mabrouk Aboul Alameen Hamouda” with the veteran comedian Mohamed Henedy. Masry grabbed attention in the movie by performing Ramzy’s character, the rich spoiled son of the minister of education.

In 2010, he performed the role of the careless university student Nabil with the famous actress Yasmine Abdel Aziz in “El-Talata Yashtaghaloonaha” (The three are deceiving her)

After this movie, Masry joined the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), and graduated in 2013. He started his career as an international actor in 2014, performing the role of Alireza in the American movie “Rosewater”. This movie was based on a true story about a journalist who was accused of being a spy and brutally interrogated in prison for 118 days.

In 2016, he participated in the American TV mini-series “ The Night Manager”, where he performed with Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie the role of a guy named Youssef; he appeared in two episodes.
