How Mehdi Solouki became an actor and more

iFilm English TV Channel’s official website delves into Mehdi Solouki’s rise to fame as an actor.

All actors have their own stories of the first time they found the passion in their hearts to start the acting career. For Solouki, it took place once a filmmaking group visited the school he studied in.

He once confessed that his disregard for academic studies made him follow a career in acting, a line of business which he grew passionately fond of as soon as he started.

The actor of ‘We Will Have Peace’ was a high school student when the filmmaking team visited his school and he asked if being a part of the team meant he could ditch his classes. With a positive response to his inquiry he found himself an actor in a project called ‘The Sparrow and the Moon’.

He was then offered to appear as a third presenter in a TV show titled ‘Profile’, which had already two famous TV presenters Amir-Hossein Modarres and Hossein Rafiee on board.

This TV appearance turned him into a national sensation and opened doors for him to take his debut role in a TV series titled ‘Lights Off’, directed by Kazem Balouchi.

This acting experience was only the beginning for so many other roles that were offered to him.

His distinctive portrayal of the parts brought him a new prominent chance to play the role of Mohammad, Setayesh’s brother and son, in all three seasons of the popular series ‘Setayesh’. The role once again brought him to the spotlight of the nation’s attention.

iFilm English TV channel has so far aired a great number of the shows he has starred in, including ‘Cold Fever’, ‘The Final Game’, ‘Until Freedom’, ‘Five Kilometers from Heaven’, and ‘The Forgotten’.

Besides the small screen, Solouki has tried his hand in cinema acting by taking part in movies such as ‘Vertigo’, ‘A Hopeful World’ and ‘We Are All Sinners’.

Read a few lines on Mehdi Solouki’s personal life in the following:

Mehdi was born in Isfahan in 1982 when his father was an Air Force officer stationed in the city. The famed actor studied graphic design in high school and followed his passion for arts at university by studying acting.
