《木乃伊归来》中饰演邪恶法师埃默霍特普的，是演员阿诺德·沃斯鲁，他于1962年6月16日生于南非的比勒陀尼亚。曾活跃在南非戏剧舞台，赢得过不少奖项，在当地的影视界也颇有名气。
1988年，沃斯鲁前往美国发展，1992年参演了著名导演雷德利·斯科特的史诗巨作《哥伦布传》，次年在吴宇森执导的《终极镖靶》中也有让人眼亮的表现。
1999年，沃斯鲁参演了票房大片《木乃伊》，扮演片中反派光头祭师，这一角色成为其演艺生涯中最为重要的转折，随着2001年《木乃伊2》的再度热卖，他真正尝到了成名的滋味。
2005年在FOX热播的电视系列剧《24小时》第四季里他又扮演酷透了的恐怖组织首领habib marwan，其思维缜密、沉着冷静、强悍果敢、心狠手辣，总是抢在CTU的前面，牵着Jack等人的鼻子走。炸火车、绑架国防部长、核泄露、袭击空军一号、抢核弹头，恐怖活动一步一步升级，甚至最后核导弹都成功发射出去了，把Jack他们真是折腾得死去活来，抓Marwan好几次都被他逃掉，抓住了又让他逃走了。这几季中只怕要数Marwan最难对付了。最后Marwan坠楼而亡宁死不屈真有点叫人肃然起敬。
阿诺德·沃斯鲁曾与南希·莫福德有过一段三年的婚姻，1998年10月与现任妻子希尔维亚再婚。
自从演出《木乃伊》中的大反角后，他才真正为人们所熟知。这位来自南非的演员曾在自己本国以精湛的舞台剧的演出而获得多个奖项。
在南非国家戏院（South Africa's State Theatre），他曾担任《第十二夜》（Twelfth Night）、《哈姆莱特》（Hamlet）等剧的主演。
到美国发展事业后，他参加了芝加哥Northlight舞台剧《Born In The R.S.A》的演出。1992年他参与里德利．斯科特的史诗大片《哥伦布传》以及1993年吴宇森《终极标靶》的演出。
2001在《木乃尹归来》中再次成为埃默霍特普邪恶本性的"代言人”。
