Abud Kadid is Armenian Catholic.

Aleppo (Syria) is a known city for hosting an important Armenian population (250,000).
Abud started acting in summer 1994. He wanted to be an actor since he was eighteen. Friends at work were telling him that he was naturally funny just by being myself.
This made him research and ask around for advises in what would be the next step. Entering that craft, he followed improvisation classes for a year.

One of the most important experiences was while working on a movie, and during the break time, he performed a run through that moved one of the actresses to the point that she cried.
