Mohammad Reza Golzar (Persian: محمدرضا گلزار, born March 31, 1977) is an Iranian actor, television host, and singer. In 2006, he was the highest-paid actor in Iran[1] and has since been one of the most expensive actors in the country.[2]

Golzar began his career in 1998 as a guitarist with the Arian music band. He later ventured into acting, making his debut in the film Sam and Narges (2000), directed by Iraj Ghaderi. Golzar has appeared in several commercially successful Iranian films, including Hello Mumbai (2015), Side Mirror (2017), Rahman 1400 (2018), and We Are All Together (2019). In addition to his cinematic work, he has acted in several television projects, such as Romantic (2016–2017), Made in Iran 2 (2018), and Gisoo (2020–2021).

Early life

[edit]

Mohammadreza Golzar was born on 22 March 1977 in Tehran. He is of Azerbaijani descent.[3][4][5] As a volleyball player, he played as a libero for teams including Tehran Province, Pars Khodro, Shisheh va Gaz, and Diheim. In the 2008 Iranian Volleyball Super League, he served as a fitness coach for the Sanat vibrations team.[6][7][8] He had no artistic activities until the end of high school. His father opposed his playing the guitar, though he occasionally played the organ. Golzar studied mathematics until his third year of high school and was accepted into the mechanical engineering program at the Islamic Azad University, South Tehran Branch, through the entrance exam, which he reserved. In his final year, he switched to the experimental sciences track, aiming to pursue dentistry but was not accepted and instead continued with mechanical engineering. He is a graduate of mechanical engineering from the Islamic Azad University.

Golzar began his music career in 1998 as a guitarist with the Arian band, where he also played the organ and percussion.[9] He later co-founded the Darkoob music group with Homayoun Nasiri and others and established the Rezzar band (short for Reza Golzar), which remains active.[9] Despite being invited to act in films by directors Mosoud Kimiai, Bahram Beyzai, and Dariush Mehrjui, Golzar was unable to participate for various reasons.[10]

In June 2023, Golzar married Aisan Aghakhani, a model.[11]

Career

[edit]

Before starting his acting career with Sam and Narges, he gained fame as the guitarist of the Iranian music band, Arian Band. He is now a singer of the Rezzar Band led by Hamed Baradaran.[12]

In 2000, he was invited to act in Sam and Narges by Iranian director, Iraj Ghaderi. He started to gain popularity after acting in more films such as Shaam-e Akhar, Zahr-e Asal, and Boutique.

Golzar gained media attention when it was revealed that he was paid £55,000 for 3 days of work while shooting Democracy in Bright Daylight in 2009, a relatively high fee for the country.[13]

He is a graduate of Mechanical Engineering from Islamic Azad University. Golzar started his music career in 1998 as a guitarist with one of his close friends Arian Sajadi. He has played guitar, organ and percussion with Arash Rahimi.
