Career

He was given the Best Supporting Actor award at the Yokohama Film Festival in 2008.
In Amir Naderi's 2011 film Cut, he played a leading role, which was described by Chris Cabin of Slant Magazine as "the most convincingly pretentious and frustrated cinephile to ever be portrayed on film".

He has also appeared in films such as Akihiko Shiota's Canary and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Loft.
