Nematollah Gorji | نعمت الله گرجی

Nematollah Gorgi (born March 29, 1926, Tehran - died April 5, 2000, Tehran) was an Iranian theater, cinema, and television actor.

Life: Nematollah Gorgi Safvat, the son of Hossein, was born in Tehran in 1926. In his youth, due to his interest in black theater performances, he joined traveling groups performing in various towns. After returning to Tehran, he worked in theaters such as "Jame'e Barbod," "Nasr," and "Dehghan." His popularity in television grew in the early 1970s, with his appearances in series such as "Ghesseh Eshq" and "Talkh o Shirin." After the revolution, his activities in this field expanded, and he appeared in numerous series, including "Hezardastan," "Shah Dozd," and "In Khaneh Door Ast."

His first presence in cinema was in the film "Gardbad-e Zendegi" in 1968. Some of his other films in the 1970s include "Kaku," "Tapeli" (directed by Reza Mirlohi), "Ali Konkuri" (directed by Masoud Asadollahi), "Memle Americayi" (directed by Shapur Gharib), and "Gavaznha" (directed by Masoud Kimiai).

One of Gorgi's most memorable roles in recent years was his short but impactful performance as the gardener in the beautiful film "Zire Derakht Gholabi" (directed by Dariush Mehrjui, 1997). He passed away on April 5, 2000, due to respiratory illness. Nematollah Gorgi and Mohammad Ali Fardin, both prominent figures in Iranian cinema, departed from this world within a day of each other.
