Career

edit

Javan began stage acting in 1991.

Three years later, he came into the spotlight with a short role in The Spouses (1995) series and found fame after appearing in the series The Green House (1995).

He is more known as a comedic actor.

In 2002, he directed his first series, Lost, which was broadcast during the fasting month of Ramadan and was well-received by both viewers and critics.

Rambod made his film-directing debut with Spaghetti in 8 minutes (2005) and received a Fajr International Film Festival Phoenix for Best supporting Actor in Sinners (2012).

His diverse roles in Mummy 3 (1999) and A Place of Love (2000) made him a versatile actor.

Many critics, however, believe Pink (2003) was the apex of his acting career. He was nominated for a Fajr International Film Festival Crystal Phoenix for Best Actor for Pink.

Rambod has appeared in many other series and movies, including Born Again (1997), Help Me (1997), The Magic Coat (1998), Maxx (2004), Souvenir from Abroad (2006), The Music Box (2007), Adam's Son, Eve's Daughter (2009), No Men Allowed (2009), The Lab (2011), and Conditional Release (2013).

Javan appeared in an episode of the popular TV series, The Spouses. He also appeared in the television series, The Green House, playing the humorous character of Farid Sabahi.

Rambod Javan is the son of two Iranian Azerbaijanis parents.[citation needed] He briefly married Mandana Rouhi until their divorce some years later. Javan remarried Iranian actress Sahar Dolatshahi in 2008, and they divorced in 2014.
