Meet Arian Moayed, who plays Dr Andy in Nobody Wants This alongside Succession co-star Justine Lupe
The actor is best known for his roles in Succession and Inventing Anna, but he was also nominated for a 2011 Tony for a play starring Robin Williams
“I was like, ‘Let me just watch one episode’,” Moyaed told The New York Times in a recent interview. “And then my wife and I finished the whole thing in less than 24 hours.”
Fans of HBO’s hit show Succession may already know Moayed as Stewy Hosseini, a private equity investor who builds a close friendship with Kendall “eldest boy” Roy, but the 45-year-old actor has range: in Inventing Anna, for instance, he plays a defence lawyer. Moayed was also nominated for a Tony Award for his role opposite Robin Williams.
