Mehdi Malkaj Comedy actor, part of the National Theater staff. He was born on March 20, 1952 in the city of Memaliaj. He comes from a family that was related to art, his father who sang very well, his uncle who played on stage as an actor and played the drums (always as an amateur), as well as his older brother who did the same. From them comes Mehdi, who became a beloved and well-known actor in the comedy genre from a driver. When he was young, he had the gift of humor, and for this reason, it is important that he be educated in this direction. So in 1980, at the age of 28, he competed in the Academy of Arts in front of a jury with big names such as: Gëzim Kame, Timo Flloko, Margarita Xhepa, Violeta Manushi, Luftar Pajo, Anastas Kristofori, Minella Barova, Birçe Hasko, Lazër Filipi, etc. which declare him the winner.

After graduating in 1983, he was assigned to the Soldier's Show with an activity in this show for 10 years. What's worse is that none of his roles in this show have been filmed, so 10 years of work have gone, even though there were 4 premieres a year, even though in these 4 premieres Mehdi Malkaj played 5-6 characters, which are not registered anywhere. Then it goes to the Tirana Variety Theater. From where the actor and director Koco Devole will have a great impact on his career. It is precisely Kocoja who brings a big role to that of Xha Braho in the telecomedy "The Last Hunt" at the end of 1992.
On January 1, 1993, suddenly everyone is talking about this character who carried the psychology of a people as a burden on his back, but the actor who played him so masterfully was not known. From that moment on, everyone knows him as "Uncle Braho" and few greet him by name. In the theater we will find him in several roles such as the role of Father in the drama "Father" by Ruzhdi Pulaha, in the role of Shëval in the comedy "Dinner of Fools" by Weber, in the role of Shmalci in the drama "Franku i V" by Fridrih Dyrrenmat; "On the second floor is heaven"; "Honour of the nation"; "Row"; "Wrong dinner" etc. He has also performed in many roles in cinematography and telecomedy. His first role will be that of Milo the fool in the film "Tale from the past" in 1987. Further, other roles would continue in many films such as the role of a drunkard in the film "Life in the hands of another" in in 1990, the role of Lolo's father in the movie "Pirates' Cave in 1991, etc. Not forgetting those in telecomedies and skits where Uncle Braho is undoubtedly the most successful.
In 2007, he participated in the festival of Gjilan, being declared the best actor of this festival. Mehdi Malkaj currently works at the National Theatre.
