Signature
 Mehran Modiri (Persian: , born April 7, 1967) is a prolific Iranian actor, television director,
comedian and musician. His artistic career began in his teenage years as he was acting in
local plays. He then entered the world of radio and television in the early 1990s, actively writing
scripts for and participating in various comedy skits during the annual Norooz comedy television
shows broadcast by the IRIB.
He continued appearing in television comedies, however, he achieved real stardom with his creation
of Pavarchin (Tiptoeing), in which he won numerous awards for directing and starring in the picture.
He tasted success again when he directed and starred in Noghtechin (Ellipsis), and Jayezeye
Bozorg (The Grand Prize), which became major hits on television in Iran[citation needed].
Afterwards, he followed Pavarchin's storyline with the making of Shabhaye Barareh which became
his most popular television program yet; the show remained incomplete after it was criticized for
offending rural people, which resulted in an abrupt end to the show after 92 episodes, without
completely explaining the Barareh history.
He has starred in two full length films, and had planned on entering the film industry once again
after Shabhaye Barareh was completed. However, he instead started working on his next project,
television series Baghe Mozaffar.
Modiri also released a music album and performed in a number of concerts. He is also a veteran of
the IranIraq War[citation needed]. He is married and has two children.
In 2009 Modiri was named by Newsweek as one of the 20 people who dominate power and public
discourse in Iran.[2]
