Kambiz Hosseini is a playwright, award-winning actor, and currently host and writer of Voice Of America’s satirical TV program Parazit. Hosseini was born in Rasht, Iran in 1975 and moved to the U.S. in 2000. At 10 years old, he hosted a popular radio show called “Islamic Revolution Blossoms.” Since then he has written and directed many stage plays, and radio and TV shows. Hosseini studied dramatic literature and acting in Iran and the U.S. He admits that since his work is his hobby, he doesn’t have a real hobby (or a real job); and that because of his political opinions he was a very bad journalist, so instead pursued the arts.
