He devotes his adolescence to be an announcer in Theater, at the beginning of the Modern theater in Iran, he moves from Lalahzar Theater hall to Sa'di Theater hall. The time of the advent of Tele theaters in I.R.I.B , he is the only companion of it. Or even when he turns away from the magnificence of the stages, and on the other hand, he becomes the pride of Iranian cinema. His devotion to the theater and his love to the stages never even diminish in him. Performing Arts lost its bright gem which his name is tied to Modern Theater. Who can deny that the path to success, reached its peak, and remained at its peak for seven decades, was unique, and never waned.
