Arezki Berkouk, known as Mustapha Badie, was born on 19 January 1927 in Algiers, where he began as an actor in the municipal troupe of the Opera theatre founded by Mahieddine Bachtarzi and Mustapha Kateb, before training at French radio and television. In 1956 he took part in the creation of the union of artists and theatre employees of Algiers, and in 1961 the colonial administration suspected him of wanting to reconstitute an Algerian union at Radio-Alger. After independence he worked for public television, where he would make almost all of his work. He died in Algiers on 27 June 2001, after a long illness.
