Iran missed a great actor :-(

Khosrow Shakibai, one of the most famous Iranian actors passed away yesterday at Parsian hospital. According to the news agancies in Iran, Mr. Shakibai passed away because a heart failure after his heart attack.
OFF RECORD :
His huge works are still in the memories of thousands of Iranians who enjoyed his great performence at TV series and movies ... "Green home" was one of his historic performence TV series which after years has remained in our memories. I still remember his saying at that series BE GREEN, like the nature, like the leaves ... His last great performance was the role of a bus driver(one of the main characters of movie) in an anti-war movie called "Night Bus". I really enjoyed the movie...

May god bless him ...


More info from Wikipedia :

Khosro Shakībā'ī (b. 1944, d.2008 in Tehran, Iran) (Persian: خسرو شکیبایی) is an actor. He graduated in acting from FDA, began his stage career in 1963 and film acting in 1982 with The Red Line (Masoud Kimiay). He is considered as one of the most prominent Iranian film stars in the last decade.[citation needed] He had performed in seven features when Darius Mehrjui offered him the title role of Hamoun, which became a cult film.

His performance in Hamoun was a brilliant turning point in his career. Shakibay received a Crystal Phoenix at Fajr International Film Festival for his portrayal of title protagonist in Hamoun. His peculiar tone and voice is a privilege, used by him as a distinguished characteristic among Iranian film stars. Near the end of 1980s when authorities of Iranian cinema didn't appreciate the actors very affectionately, Shakibai managed to gain a considerable attention. He has performed in some TV series, and won another Crystal Phoenix for Kimia (1995, A. R. Darvish). He died in July 18, 2008 because of a heart attack.
