Reza Fazeli was an amazing personality. Starting his acting career in early 40's,
he used to play in many Iranian films. Of course like most of other actors of his
generation, playing only in commercial film farsi. He was one of the first actors
who went abroad to play in foreign films, starting with an italian western called
"Joe, find somewhere to die" (1968) along with the Jeffry Hunter, Pascal
Petit and Miss Italy 68 Daniella Jurdano.. Later moved to Vienna to play in a film
called Sexy Suzanna. One of his co-stars and girl friends was Hollywood star Nancy
Kovak. Reza Fazeli was known as Iranian Casanova. the title of one of his interviews
with an Italian magazine was "A heart like a hotel for all the beautiful women
of the world! Back in east, he made some movies in Turkey and Pakistan, and returning
home, he started his own film productions and acting / directing activity with his
new look in Jaaheli films. He was one of those good actors who never got a chance
to be taken seriously. His last movie happened to become the farewell of Iranian
super stars before the revolution. A film called Safar-e sang, starting with him,
Saeed Raad and Hossein Gil directed by Kimiai who had probably discovered the talent
of some commercial film farsi actors.
