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 renown 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 breathwork, fitness, and dance integrated into his craft. He records 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). As a Music Artist, Habibi's privately held catalog of self-produced music is set for initial public release beginning Fall 2025. His work has been praised by prominent artists-turned-collaborators ranging from Ronny J to major brands such as Unionbay. Pelvic thrusting in an Iranian-American cultural piece is monument to Habibi. He is an anomaly - bridging culture, comedy, and character with integrity.

The first openly nonbinary contestant on America’s favorite cooking show falls for their clumsy competitor in this delicious romantic comedy debut that USA Today hailed as “an essential read.” Recently divorced and on the verge of bankruptcy, Dahlia Woodson is ready to reinvent herself on the popular reality competition show Chef’s Special. Too bad the first memorable move she makes is falling flat on her face, sending fish tacos flying—not quite the fresh start she was hoping for. Still, she's focused on winning, until she meets someone she might want a future with more than she needs the prize money. After announcing their pronouns on national television, London Parker has enough on their mind without worrying about the klutzy competitor stationed in front of them. They’re there to prove the trolls—including a fellow contestant and their dad—wrong, and falling in love was never part of the plan. As London and Dahlia get closer, reality starts to fall away. Goodbye, guilt about divorce, anxiety about uncertain futures, and stress from transphobia. Hello, hilarious shenanigans on set, wedding crashing, and spontaneous dips into the Pacific. But as the finale draws near, Dahlia and London’s steamy relationship starts to feel the heat both in and outside the kitchen—and they must figure out if they have the right ingredients for a happily ever after.
