Amir Shervan was born in Tehran, Iran on May 24, 1929 and is known for his directing, writing and acting in numerous films. He studied theater in Pasadena, California in the 1940s and returned to Iran to begin his career in film. However, the 1979 Iranian Revolution caused a pause in his film career until he moved to the United States in the 1980s. He is most known for his cult-classic b-movie Hollywood Cop and Samurai Cop. He used improvisational acting and dialog often due to English being his second language and his Iranian audience being accustomed to a lower standard. He died on November 1, 2006 at age 77 and is survived by a son named Ben Shervan.
