In his early experience as an actor Amr joined the Temple Theatre Troop in 1994, and Yaaru Theatre Troop in 1999, where he trained and developed his tools as a stage performer. With his experience onstage, Waked managed to film his first role on the big screen in 1998 when he joined Ossama Fawzy's of "Gannet El Shayateen". Waked's award winning performance paved his way to become a popular actor famous for his gravity and vast range. In 2003, Waked joined Stephen Gegan's cast of Syriana, which was his first appearance in an international film. His performance was acclaimed and presented him with other opportunities in international productions, like House Of Saddam and Salmon Fishing In The Yemen. In 2005, Amr co-established "zad communication & production llc" to begin his experience as a producer. The communication agency and production house was to focus on developmental and social issues in Egypt and the Middle East. In 2012, zad produced its first feature film "Winter Of Discontent", directed by Ibrahim El Batout, which opened in the 69th Venice Film Festival in 2012.
Perseus, the demigod son of mighty Zeus, the king of the gods, vows to take his revenge on Calibos, the terrifying King of the Marshes when he sees his mortal family and their fishing village perish. As the race of mortals summons up the courage to rebel against the tyrany of Calibos, the doomed city of Argos becomes a battlefield, as the mad-king wages war on the gods, the machinations of both his goddess-mother Hera and Hades, Lord of the Underworld. Olympus, disillusioned by Man, threatens to unleash the legendary Kraken, last of the dreaded titans upon the world, unless the fair Princess Andromeda willingly offers herself as a sacrifice. Now, having nothing more to lose, Perseus embarks on a daring, peril-laden quest to stop the forces of evil before the gods plunge the world into chaos and darkness. But, to survive the relentless onslaught of demons and terrible adversaries, Perseus must first embrace his destiny. Will Perseus defy the gods, and save humankind or will he crumble, another victim in this clash of the Titans?
