House of Saddam is an HBO historical drama miniseries that premiered in 2008. The show chronicles the rise and fall of the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, from his ascent to power in the late 1970s to his capture and execution in 2006. The series is based on factual events and accounts of key figures in Saddam's inner circle, as well as his family members.

The role of Saddam Hussein is played by Israeli actor Yigal Naor, who delivers a mesmerizing performance as the ruthless dictator. Naor captures the essence of Saddam's personality, his charisma, his paranoia, and his delusions of grandeur. Shohreh Aghdashloo plays Saddam's wife Sajida, who is often portrayed as being the power behind the throne. Aghdashloo brings depth and nuance to her character, portraying her as a woman who is fiercely loyal to her husband and family, yet deeply conflicted about the atrocities committed by Saddam's regime.

Other key characters in the show include Saddam's sons Uday and Qusay, played by Philip Arditti and Amr Waked, respectively. The two actors convincingly portray the complex relationship between the siblings, as well as their brutal and impulsive natures. Sa
