Fahim Fazli (born May 30, 1966) is an Afghan-American actor. He had a privileged childhood until the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, which led to his family fleeing to Pakistan and then eventually to the United States. He moved to California with dreams of an acting career, and has since starred in films including “Iron Man,” “Argo,” and “Superman.” He returned to Afghanistan as an interpreter with the U.S. Marines from 2009-2010, and wrote a memoir, “Fahim Speaks,” that was released in early 2012.
