In our 11th feature, we delve into the roles Afshin Sangchap has played.
Sangchap has graced the iFilm screen with remarkable performances in 6 series over the past year, including ‘The Redemption’, ‘The Spiritualists’, ‘No Pain, No Gain’, ‘The Postgraduates’, ‘Leaded Stars’ and ‘Coma’.
Afshin is known as the bad guy in Iranian TV. His fans can rarely recall seeing him in a positive role, as he often plays characters with negative traits. Here are some highlights from his notable performances:
In ‘The Redemption’ and ‘Coma’, Afshin is a nightmare character, easily tempted by the lure of more money. He knows nothing but greed, making him an antagonist driven solely by financial gain.
In ‘The Postgraduates’ comedy series, he takes on a less negative role, yet he remains an unlikeable character.
Suspected of being an addict by his family, his desperate attempts to prove otherwise result in a series of comic scenes that highlight his ineptitude and the family's skepticism.
His roles in both ‘The Spiritualists’ and ‘Leaden Stars’ are equally negative. In these series, he plays characters that are deeply flawed and antagonistic, further establishing his reputation as the go-to actor for villainous roles on Iranian television.
Stay tuned as we continue to celebrate the stars who light up the iFilm screen.
