The Crooklyn Actor Celebrates His Birthday Every 26th of April and Is Currently In His Late 30s
A lot of background information is yet to be learned about Sharif Rashed and that includes the year he was born. Nonetheless, we can confirm that he was born on the 26th of April and is in his late 30s as of 2022.
Rashed was a child when he gained popularity from his role as Wendell in 1994’s Crooklyn. At the moment, it has been 28 years since he portrayed the character. Considering his age when he played the role, it is not difficult to see that he is approaching his 40s.
Anyone with half an eye could tell that the former American actor is of African American extraction. Even though much isn’t known about the family he was born into, he isn’t the only child of his parents. He has a sister named Zen Nina; she is a dancer, choreographer, and fitness junkie.

As an actor, Sharif Rashed’s last work was in 2005 when he appeared as an Audio/Video Agent in the “Target” episode of Sleeper Cell which aired on the 5th of December. Since his appearance in the second episode of the first season of the crime drama thriller, he has not portrayed any other character.
Nonetheless, he returned to work in the industry many years later, but not as an actor. In 2013, he worked as an assistant director in Jada’s Walk, a short drama film directed by Robert Bowden, starring Rachel Arac, Wanda Brown, and Craig Figueiredo.
Although Rashed never announced his retirement from the motion pictures industry, his acting days seem to be over and nothing indicates he has plans to resume working in the industry in the foreseeable future. It is hard to give details of what he now does for a living but as culled from his Instagram page, it appears he now makes a living as a trucker.
