Biography

Jerry Farzan Habibi is a first-generation Iranian-American actor-producer and music artist, known for his breakout role in The Persian Version (2023), where his performance as Abbas was described by Letterboxd Journal as the most user-desired performance in the Sundance Award-Winning Film. In 2024, he was profiled in D Magazine by Pulitzer finalist Matt Zoller Seitz as "The Hardest Working Man in Show Biz." By 2025, Habibi has already fronted campaigns for renowned brands like Unionbay and Mizan Saffron.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Habibi began performing Persian dance and theater as a child, fluent in both Farsi and English. His training spans Stanislavski, Chekhov, Uta Hagen, Persian Theater, and movement-based disciplines, with breath-work, fitness, and dance integrated into his craft. He converted his expertise in music production and songwriting to recording voiceover work from his home studio, and in 2025, he was announced as the youngest actor to ever voice Black Adam in DC: Dark Legion (2025).

Pelvic thrusting in an Iranian-American cultural piece is monument to Habibi. He is an anomaly - bridging culture, comedy, and character with integrity.
