Shaun Toub is an Iranian-American film and television actor. He is perhaps best known for his role as Farhad in the 2004 movie Crash, as Rahim Khan in the movie The Kite Runner, and as Yinsen in the film adaptation of the Iron Man comic book series.
Toub, who is of Persian Jewish background, was born in Tehran, Iran and raised in Manchester, England (his family left Iran before the 1979 revolution). At the age of fourteen, he moved to Switzerland and after a two year stay, he crossed the Atlantic to Nashua, New Hampshire to finish his last year of high school. His high school yearbook notes: "The funniest guy in school and the most likely to succeed in the entertainment world." After two years of college in Massachusetts, Shaun transferred to USC.
Shaun is active in the Iranian Jewish community. Through various charity events and public speaking engagements, he inspires the community to embrace the arts, as the arts enhance everyday life. He has been a recipient of the Sephard award at the Los Angeles Sephardic Film Festival. Toub currently resides in Los Angeles. 숀 토브(1963년생, Tehran, Iran) 는 배우로, 대표작으로 아이언맨, 라스트 에어벤더, 연을 쫓는 아이가 있으며, 그 외에도 NCIS, 못말리는 번디 가족, 홈랜드, 소프라노스, 캐슬, 참드, 로스트, 그림형제, 형사 콜롬보, 사인필드, JAG, 스캔들 등 다양한 작품에 출연했다.
