Shaun Toub is an Iranian-American film and television actor. He is perhaps best known for his role as Farhad in the 2004 movie Crash, as Rahim Khan in the movie The Kite Runner, and as Yinsen in the film adaptation of the Iron Man comic book series. Toub, who is of Persian Jewish background, was born in Tehran, Iran and raised in Manchester, England (his family left Iran before the 1979 revolution). At the age of fourteen, he moved to Switzerland and after a two year stay, he crossed the Atlantic to Nashua, New Hampshire to finish his last year of high school. His high school yearbook notes: "The funniest guy in school and the most likely to succeed in the entertainment world." After two years of college in Massachusetts, Shaun transferred to USC. Shaun is active in the Iranian Jewish community. Through various charity events and public speaking engagements, he inspires the community to embrace the arts, as the arts enhance everyday life. He has been a recipient of the Sephard award at the Los Angeles Sephardic Film Festival. Toub currently resides in Los Angeles.
One snowy winter day, Sandy and Dennys Murry want nothing more than to be someplace warm and not too crowded. However, playfully typing these into their parents' experimental computers sends them back in time to before the flood--shortly before the flood, in fact, when manticores and mini-mammoths walk the earth, unicorns go in and out of being like virtual particles, and a man named Noah lives with his family by a desert oasis.<br> Remember those normie twin brothers of the girl from A Wrinkle in Time? Yeah, this is their adventure.<br><br> Since the story of Noah's Ark comes from Genesis, I'm trying to cast actors of Jewish faith and/or heritage as Noah's family and Tiglah's family.
