I Speak Farsi, German, Dari,

I Grew Up On Harold Lloyd, Charles Chaplin, And Buster Keaton, And Those Were The Ones Who Inspired Me.

I Grew Up During The Revolution Of Iran And The War Between Iran And Iraq. The Things That I Saw. The Impact. How It Changes You. How It Changes The Way You Look At The World.

Before 9/11, I Was Playing A Wide Range Of Characters. I Would Play A Lover, A Cop, A Father. As Long As I Could Create The Illusion Of The Character, The Part Was Given To Me. But After 9/11, Something Changed. We Became The Villains, The Bad Guys. I Don't Mind To Play The Bad Guy As Long As The Bad Guy Has A Base.

As An Actor Sometimes We Sit And Wait For Projects To Be Handed To Us And We Don't Really Work. We Expect Our Agents And Managers To Know Who We Are And To See Who We Are And Offer Us A Part Or Send Us Out And Submit Us.

I Like 'breaking Bad' And 'game Of Thrones.' I Like That Era. I Like That Fantasy World.
