Shaun Toub

SHAUN TOUB (Yinsen) was raised in Manchester, England. At the age of 14, he moved to Switzerland and, after a two year stay, crossed the Atlantic to Nashua, New Hampshire where he finished his last year of high school. After completing his education at USC, he broke into the Hollywood scene with a memorable role on the much loved television series "Hunter."

His filmography includes a lead in the Golden Globe Best Picture nominee "The Kite Runner", his gripping performance as Farhad in Paul Haggis's Oscar-winning film "Crash" and the critically acclaimed film "The Nativity Story." As a comedic performer he shined in Michael Bay's “Bad Boys” with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

He made his mark on HBO as well, both in Mick Jackson's "Live from Baghdad" starring Michael Keaton and Helena Bonham Carter and the controversial "Path to Paradise" opposite Marcia Gay Harden. He appears often in television mini-series, most recently in the ABC Emmy nominated "The Path to 9/11."  Toub has received accolades for several of his appearances in over 100 television episodes including “Seinfeld,” “The Sopranos,” “ER,” “Just Shoot Me,” “Nash Bridges,” “JAG” and “Married with Children.”

Toub is very proud of his Persian heritage and very active in the community. Through various charity events and public speaking engagements, he inspires the community to embrace the arts, as the arts enhance everyday life.
