Career
Ibrahim Meraachli"s career began on theaters in the late 1960s, in the crew of Hassan Alaa Eddin, also known as "Chouchou". His unique comical style and gestures, paired with an outstanding personality, gained him the love and respect of the public. After several successful productions, he began his acting career on Television, where he was quickly made the main character of the shows.
The Lebanese civil war had then begun, but Meraachli"s professional career was not affected by the deteriorating situation in the country.
He was so popular that he even tried to run for Member of Parliament in the 1990s, although he did not really have a chance in a country whose MPs where then carefully selected by Syrian authorities. In 2004, Ibrahim Meraachli"s health deteriorated.
He was admitted to a hospital where he fell in a coma. He died several months later, on 15 September 2004.
