Although Marsh Mokhtari was born in the UK, his father's nautical career took him to Persia for his first six years. He then spent the next 19 years in the UK. He holds a degree in 'Medical Physics' from the University of Newcastle. While at Newcastle he played American football for the UK national team and had a short career as a pro-athlete, (playing both rugby and American football) he then had a 'real-job' in London, focusing on the corporate world of executive search. It wasn't until 2001 when Marsh was taking a sabbatical in Australia that he found his true passion.
While in Sydney, he had a fortuitous encounter with the film, 'The Matrix Reloaded', and found himself on 'set' for 2 weeks as an extra. This very short taste was enough to give Marsh the momentum needed to give up a high paying executive job to focus on a 'whim'. He moved to Los Angeles in 2003 and enrolled in an acting class, he's been guest-starring in roles ever since, on shows such as, 'CSI: New York', 'The Young and the Restless' and 'The Closer'. Currently Marsh is working on an international show for the National Geographic channel, called 'Perilous Journeys', set to air late fall 2008.
