As the private equity investor Stewy Hosseini on “Succession,” Arian Moayed delivers the show’s piquant profanities with an elegant flair. It’s a role that has made Moayed instantly recognizable, in addition to his roles in the Disney+ series “Ms. Marvel” and the second season of the HBO anthology series “Love Life” opposite William Jackson Harper.
Born in Iran, Moayed grew up in Glenview, Illinois. He’s had a prolific career on stage, and is also the creator, writer, producer and director of the TV drama “The Accidental Wolf,” now streaming its third season on Topic. Moayed calls it an “empathy thriller” and it stars Kelli O’Hara.
“She and I did ‘King Lear’ together at the Public Theater,” he said, “and I asked her if I wrote her something, would she do it? And that was the spark of it.”
