Rad began his acting career in the late 1960s and quickly rose to fame with his performances in action and drama films. His early roles often portrayed him as a rugged hero or a morally conflicted character, resonating with audiences during a transformative era in culture. Following the 1979 Revolution, Rad faced political restrictions that limited his ability to work freely in the country. He left the 1980s and lived abroad for several years, including time in Canada. He eventually returned and resumed acting in the 2000s, receiving both critical acclaim and popular support for his comeback.
