At seventeen years old, rising actor Bardia Seiri is proving to be one to watch in Hollywood today. In 2024, Seiri will make his feature film debut, starring as "Koosh" in Netflix's highly anticipated coming-of-age comedy, Incoming. Slated for global release on August 23, the film follows four freshmen as they face the ultimate challenge of their young lives: their first high school party. Incoming delves into teenage selfhood, exploring the complexities of adolescence, peer pressure, and young love. Seiri plays Koosh, a character from a wealthy family who is determined to step out of his older brother’s shadow while also grappling with his reputation and popularity. Throughout the film, Koosh stumbles and grows as he navigates the high school social and party scene, making mistakes along the way. Seiri stars alongside Mason Thames (Benj), Ramon Reed (Eddie), and Raphael Alejandro (Connor), with veteran actors Bobby Cannavale, Kaitlin Olson, and Scott Macarthur also appearing in the film, which was written and directed by David and John Chernin. Aside from his breakout role in Incoming, Seiri is recognized for his work as Farouk in ABC’s award-winning and longest-running scripted series, Grey's Anatomy, for which he received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the third annual Young Entertainers Awards. His additional credits include CBS's Life in Pieces, starring Colin Hanks and Betsy Brandt, and an appearance in Seal Team. Born in Iran, Seiri moved to the United States with his family when he was four years old and attributes his work ethic to his parents. His father, an accomplished actor, introduced him to the world of acting, and their shared passion for the craft deepened their bond. Seiri started appearing in commercials as a baby, eventually developing a genuine love for acting. Growing up in California provided him more opportunities to pursue his dreams, and his dedication to honing his craft led to steady work, with commercial bookings, short films, and eventually, his first guest-starring role in Grey's Anatomy, followed by Incoming. Seiri's love for filmmaking extends beyond acting; he is deeply interested in directing and producing. Currently enrolled in Advanced Film and Video Production at school, Seiri is constantly exploring his creative potential as a budding storyteller. He has written and directed a series of short films, including Side-Track'd, which won the "Best Drama" prize at the Hart District Student Film Festival in March 2024. Additionally, Seiri received another award for his PSA short film for the Police Department from the Directing Change Organization. When not on set or learning more about filmmaking, Seiri enjoys hiking with friends, where he draws inspiration for his new projects, taking in the peaceful views to spark his creativity.
