Among the few Pakistanis who have made their mark in Hollywood, Faran Tahir is one of the most successful ones. The actor has several big budget Hollywood productions to his name, such as Iron Man, Elysium, Star Trek and Charlie Wilson’s War. He has also made countless appearances in hit TV shows like Monk, Alias, The Practice, NYPD Blue, Lost and Supernatural.

Now, Tahir is all set to appear in three more projects. He will be appearing in two television series, Shameless and The Magicians, and one movie, Mindhack: #savetheworld (which was previously titled The Mad Genius Project.)

Tahir’s TV appearances will be very different from each other. Shameless is a remake of the British comedy-drama which revolves around the lives of a dysfunctional family. Tahir is currently shooting for the eighth season of the show along with the rest of the cast which includes William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum, Justin Chatwin and Jeremy Allen White. The show will be airing on U.S television network Showtime.

On the other hand, his other show The Magicians is an American fantasy series which is based on the novel of the same name by Lev Grossman. It’s about a man who discovers and attends a college of magic in New York. The season will air in 2018.

Staying true to his love for science fiction films, Tahir’s latest cinematic outing Mindhack: #savetheworld is also a science fiction film. Faran will be seen playing the role of the antagonist Eden.
