Hessam Manzour’s interview resurfaces amid series airing

A previously conducted interview with Iranian actor Hessam Manzour has resurfaced as his hit series ‘Lady of the Mansion’ airs on iFilm English TV.

In the interview, Manzour reflected on his rare appearances in artistic works and his preference for a quiet life away from the spotlight.

The actor, known for his selectivity, said, “I do not do many works in general, and this is due to selectivity. I am difficult to please in my choices.”

He added that many roles offered to him are declined due to time constraints or involvement in major projects.

Manzour, who has a strong background in theater, emphasized that he values staying connected with ordinary people, saying, “The reference for any actor to show his skills and art is people. If I am not among people, I will not be able to perform any role.”

Following his breakout role as Prince Arsalan in ‘Lady of the Mansion’, which earned him a Best TV Actor award in 2018, Manzour deliberately chose a different artistic path, avoiding being typecast.

“I could have continued in works similar to that role. But I chose to go against the tide,” he explained.

With an extensive career in theater, film, and television, as well as a background in teaching acting, Manzour remains a respected figure in Iranian entertainment.

As ‘Lady of the Mansion’ captivates new audiences, his artistic philosophy and selective approach to roles continue to draw attention.
