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.
