Roqe - Ep #104 - Acting, Comedy, and Persian Dads - Peter Banifaz

A lively episode of Roqe featuring Iranian-American actor and comedian Peter (Payam) Banifaz. Peter is a familiar face to many from his appearances in dozens of popular TV shows including Veep, Silicon Valley, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, as well as his recurring role on the hit series, Shameless. But recently he’s been getting attention for his very funny online videos where he satirizes Persian dads and the culture of the Persian family at home. Peter joins Jian for a feature interview about his current success, and a life journey from Iran, to the UK, to a new immigrant community in LA where he found his home and his voice. Plus a new edition of It’s All Persian to Us and the Roqe Team gets an update on Shaya’s happy disposition and Jian’s intermittent fasting.
