An Iranian comedian? Yes, Kayvan Novak, of Persian descent, is a funnyman and an actor in his native England. Like his babalicious British countrymen Rupert Friend, Tom Mison and Joe Anderson, Kayvan trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art. Since then, the amusing dude tackled the boob tube via guest spots on various series and TV movies. But Kayvan really began to get noticed when he co-created and starred in the comedy Fonejacker (2007-2008), for which he won a BAFTA award. In 2010, the swarthy stud was bursting with animal magnetism since he could be seen in the big screen satire Four Lions and heard in the animated flick A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures. During Novak’s naked turn on the ambulance team dramedy Sirens (2011), fans nearly called 911. We’re guessing they were either breathless after seeing Kayvan’s naked T&A or they were distressed by the fact that the skintastic actor covered his junk. The topless hottie paraded his pecs again, this time for the BBC One sitcom SunTrap (2015). Yet Novak is best known in the US for playing a vampire on the FX comedy What We Do in the Shadows (2019-present) wherein he exposes his skivvies, torso and tush. Nothing scary about that! Whether lending his talents to film (Syriana, Cruella, Paddington, Men in Black: International); television (Facejacker, Doctor Who, Danger Mouse, Thunderbirds Are Go, Archer); or video games (Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbitwe, Perfect Dark Zero), Kayvan proves he’s got a big, wide… range!
