From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Khosro Shakībā'ī (b. 1944 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).
