A former child gymnast from Iran, Sam Asghari moved to the United States at age 13. In high school, he pursued acting and football. But it wasn’t until he turned 21 that Sam shifted his attention to modeling. He walked the runways for designers like Michael Costello, and did menswear spreads for magazines like Men’s Health and GQ. Sam’s first professional gig as an actor happened to be on a project with hip-hop legend — and current new favorite Coach on The Voice — Snoop Dogg. We all know the power of the Dogg can be transformational, so it’s no surprise that when both men appeared in the Star Trek parody Unbelievable!!!!!, the performance bug got its claws into Sam.
