Dar is half Iranian, half American white boy.
Born in Tehran.
Yes, Iran.
He's moved over 80 times.
He escaped the Iranian Revolution with literally the clothes on his back, and we're not lying... He even found himself in a cult.
Through every crazy thing that's happened against insane odds...
He's been succeeding in life and in Hollywood for almost 30 years.
People with boring lives have boring stories.
Nothing boring here.
This is - The Art of Being Dar.
