Anthony agrees that Iranian representation is rare in Hollywood. He added that he has never auditioned for an Iranian role. He added, “It was always, you know, ‘looking for Middle Eastern or Hispanic or Caucasian,’ anything that I could fit into because I look ambiguous. I could look like someone else, but I had never, never played a role that really represented my heritage. I remember getting the call that they wanted me to audition, and I was so excited and thrilled because you’re right, I had never seen an actor play the role [an] “Iranian.”
