Mehran Modiri (Persian:مهران مدیری; born 7 April 1967) is an Iranian director, actor, comedian, producer, screenwriter, host and singer.

His various series, which have been broadcast throughIRIB have set records in terms of viewership (an estimated 95% viewership when he is on-air),^{[citation needed]} as well as making him a popular personality among the masses. His artistic career began in his teenage years acting in local plays. He then entered the world of radio and television in the early 1990s, actively writing scripts for and participating in various comedy skits during the annualNorooz comedy television shows broadcast by theIRIB.

He achieved real stardom with his creation ofPavarchin (Tiptoeing), in which he won numerous awards for directing and starring in the picture. He tasted success again when he directed and starred inNoghtechin (Ellipsis), andJayezeye Bozorg (The Grand Prize), which became major hits on television in Iran^{[citation needed]}. Later, he followedPavarchin's storyline with the making ofShabhaye Barareh which became his most popular television program yet; the show remained incomplete after it was criticized for offending rural people. This resulted in an abrupt end to the show after 92 episodes without completely explaining theBarareh history. He starred in two full-length films and had planned on entering the film industry once again afterShabhaye Barareh was completed. However, he instead produced and released his next project, the television seriesBaghe Mozaffar.

One of his most popular tv series wasThe man with a thousand faces, broadcast in 2008.

Modiri has also released a music album and performed in a number of concerts. He is also a veteran of theIran–Iraq War.

In 2009 Modiri was named byNewsweek as one of the 20 people who dominate power and public discourse in Iran.^[1] Between 2015 – 2018 Modiri was mostly seen on Nasim TV with his programDorehami.

In order to condemn theDeath of Mahsa Amini and support thenationwide protests, Mehran Modiri announced by publishing a video on hisInstagram that none of theIranian television channels have the right to publish his image in television advertisements and periodicals. A few days after these events, theIranian government announced that Mehran Modiri has been banned from leaving the country, however, Iranian news agencies have announced that Mehran has left Iran.
