From Iran to the Silver Screen with guest Arian Moayed

From his early childhood in Iran to his critically-praised role as ‘Stewy’ on the show that became a global phenomenon, “Succession,” actor Arian Moayed leads listeners through his journey as both an actor and an activist this week on Hollywood at Home. Arian shares the early opportunities in the arts, coupled with his experiences as an immigrant, that paved the way for his extraordinary career on both stage and screen. With heart and humor, he discusses the inspiration behind his performances in some of the biggest shows and films of the last decade. Arian gives us an inside look at what it’s like to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe and go toe-to-toe in scenes with Jeremy Strong, Brian Cox, and Sarah Snook. He also discusses how activism, especially as an artist, is where his heart and passions lie.
Highlights include stories from sets with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tom Holland, finding inspiration from Snoop Dogg, and a poignant reflection on the importance of providing access to the arts for all.
