Laith Nakli (born 1 December 1969) is a British actor of Syrian descent best known for his role in the 2017 movie The Wall as the voice of the mythical sniper named Juba, the 2017 miniseries The Long Road Home and the 2018 movie 12 Strongas Commander Ahmed Lal. His parents are from Syria.
In the 1990s, Nakli was a bodybuilder. In 1998, he was arrested, and two years later, pled guilty to four counts of conspiracy to possess and distribute controlled substances. He subsequently retired from bodybuilding to pursue acting. U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement administratively closed the case against Nakli in 2013.
