- Nabil Shaban is a Jordanian-British actor and writer. He founded The Graeae - a theatre group which promotes performers with disabilities. He has a son named Zenyel. Shaban was a student at the University of Surrey in the late seventies and contributed to the Students' Union newspaper "Bare Facts". One of his most memorable television roles was that of the hideous reptilian alien Sil in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. Shaban played Sil in two serials: Vengeance on Varos (1985) and Mindwarp (1986). Shaban is particularly well known among Doctor Who fans for Sil's laugh, which he created. He has appeared in several films, including Born of Fire (1983), City of Joy (1992), Derek Jarman's Wittgenstein (1993), Gaias børn (1998), and Children of Men (2006), and has also worked as part of the Crass Collective. In 2011, he played the Roman emperor Constantius II at the National Theatre in Ibsen's Emperor and Galilean. In 2003 he made a TV documentary titled The Strangest Viking, in which Shaban explored the possibility that Viking chieftain Ivar the Boneless may have had osteogenesis imperfecta, the same condition as himself. Shaban was nominated Best Actor in Scottish theatre in 2005, by the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland (CATS), for his role as Mack the Knife in Bertolt Brecht's Threepenny Opera, a Theatre Workshop (Edinburgh) production. Ironically, Shaban lost out to rival nominee David Tennant, who was about to become the new Doctor Who. Shaban's play The First To Go premièred in May 2008, produced by Edinburgh's Benchtours Theatre Company in association with Sirius Pictures. It opened at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh on May 23 and toured to the Tron Theatre, Glasgow; the Byre Theatre, St Andrews and Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield.
- Ha fondato la Graie (pronuncia gray-eye, dall'inglese occhio grigio) - una compagnia teatrale che promuove artisti con disabilità. Nabs si è formato presso l'Università di Surrey alla fine degli anni settanta. Uno dei suoi ruoli televisivi più memorabili è stato quello dell'orribile rettile alieno Sil nella serie televisiva di fantascienza, Doctor Who. Shaban ha interpretato Sil in due episodi: Vengeance Varos e Mindwarp. Shaban è particolarmente noto tra i fan di Dr Who per la risata che ha donato al personaggio di Sil. Nel 1993 recita nella parte di un marziano per il film Wittgenstein (film) di Derek Jarman, con lo scopo di rappresentare il dubbio nelle certezze del filosofo protagonista del film. È apparso in diversi film tra cui La città della gioia e I figli degli uomini. Nel 2003 ha realizzato un documentario televisivo in cui ha esplorato la possibilità che il capo vichingo Ívarr Ragnarsson possa aver avuto l'osteogenesi imperfetta: lui stesso ne è affetto. Nel 2005 è stato nominato miglior attore di teatro in Scozia, dal Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland (CATS), per il suo ruolo come Macheath ("Mackie Messer"/"Mack the Knife") ne L'opera da tre soldi di Bertolt Brecht: ironia della sorte, Nabil ha perso a favore dell'altro candidato, David Tennant, che nello stesso anno avrebbe interpretato il Doctor Who, nella nuova serie televisiva del 2005.
