Adrian Kayvan Pasdar (* 30. April 1965 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler deutsch-iranischer Herkunft. Nach seinem Highschoolabschluss erhielt er ein Footballstipendium für die University of Florida, doch ein schwerer Autounfall beendete seine Ambitionen auf eine Football-Karriere und fesselte ihn für einige Monate an den Rollstuhl. Nach der erfolgreichen Physiotherapie begann er als Kulissenbauer für die People's Light Theatre Company zu arbeiten, wobei er sich schwer an der Hand verletzte. Da er Anspruch auf Invalidenrente erhielt, aber nicht völlig aus dem Berufsleben aussteigen wollte, verwendete er das Geld, um am Lee Strasberg Theater Institute Schauspiel zu studieren. Zudem arbeitete er nebenbei als Kellner und Kassierer. ... Read more

Excerpt: Adrian Kayvan Pasdar (pronounced ; born April 30, 1965) is an American actor and film director. He is known for playing Jim Profit on the TV series Profit, for his roles in Near Dark, Carlito's Way, Mysterious Ways and as Nathan Petrelli on Heroes. Additionally, he directed the feature film Cement. Pasdar was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. His father, Homayoon Pasdar, was an Iranian immigrant and cardiac surgeon, with a practice near Philadelphia. His mother, Rosemarie (née Sberesny), was born in Königsberg/Kaliningrad, a former German city in Russia, working as a nurse before becoming an English teacher and travel agent in France. Pasdar graduated from Marple Newtown Senior High School in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, and then received a football scholarship to the University of Florida to play linebacker. He was badly injured in a car accident during his freshman year. The accident left his face scarred, his legs badly injured, and kept him in a wheelchair for several months, at which time he had to finish his freshman year while undergoing intensive physical therapy. Pasdar turned his attention to campus stage productions and rediscovered an early interest in writing and acting. No longer able to play football, he dropped out of school and returned home, taking a job with a theater group, People's Light and Theatre Company. There he worked on sound and lighting as part of the stage crew responsible for set construction. He had a painful accident on the set, cutting off the end of his left thumb.

Excerpt: Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and poet, whose work is often classified as part of the genre of dark romanticism. He is best known for his novel Moby-Dick and novella Billy Budd, the latter of which was published posthumously. His first three books gained much attention, the first becoming a bestseller, but after a fast-blooming literary success in the late 1840s, his popularity declined precipitously in the mid-1850s and never recovered during his lifetime. When he died in 1891, he was almost completely forgotten. It was not until the "Melville Revival" in the early 20th century that his work won recognition, most notably Moby-Dick which was hailed as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature. He was the first writer to have his works collected and published by the Library of America. Herman Melville was born in New York City on August 1, 1819, as the third child of Allan and Maria Gansevoort Melvill. After her husband Allan died, Maria added an "e" to the family surname. Part of a well-established and colorful Boston family, Melville's father spent a good dea... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=13623 ... Read more
