Anthony agrees that Iranian representation is very rare in Hollywood. He added that he had never gone out for a role that was Iranian. He added, “It’s always, you know, “looking for Middle Eastern or Hispanic or Caucasian,” whatever I can fit in because I do look ambiguous. I can look like other people, but I’ve never, ever played a role that was authentically representing my heritage. I remember getting the call that they wanted me to audition, and I was just so thrilled and excited because you’re right, I’ve never seen an actor playing [an] Iranian.”
Because of his ambiguous appearance, the actor has explained that he landed parts for characters of Indian, Pakistani, Arab, and Latinx characters.
Born on 13 August 2000, Anthony is 22 years old in 2023. The California native has been in the industry since he was only 5 years old.

Anthony soon secured a significant guest star role on ‘Law & Order: SVU.’ He has worked on a variety of other projects, such as ABC’s “Schooled,” CBS’ “NCIS,” CBS’ “Bad Teacher,” and ABC Family’s “Twisted.”
Anthony played Rahim, an outgoing and humorous LGBTQ+ student, in “Love, Victor,” which picks up after the events of Nick Robinson’s popular hit film “Love, Simon.” He has portrayed characters in shows like “Generation,” “Alexa & Katie,” “Fresh Off the Boat,” “The Rookie,” “Major Crimes,” and “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” in the past on networks like HBO, ABC, Netflix, TNT, CBS, Nickelodeon, Hulu, and more.
In XO, Kitty, Anthony plays an openly gay Iranian-Filipino character named Quincy “Q” Shabazian. This and his role in Love, Victor, ignited rumors related to his sexuality among fans.
