When Niv Sultan was growing up, acting seemed too preposterous a life to even seriously consider. She’d always felt a connection to the idea of being an actor, but from her parents’ living room in Jerusalem, the world of Hollywood seemed too far away.
Sultan’s first big role sees her at the helm of the new series “Tehran,” an Israeli-Iranian thriller that, after an initial, much-praised run in Israel, premieres on Apple TV+ today. “And they did, they noticed,” she says. “She looked at me and she asked me, ‘You know, I have an audition that they can’t find the actress. You think you could memorize some lines by tomorrow?’” She went on the audition the next day and the part was hers.Sultan graduated from a three-year acting program in Tel Aviv, where she’s now based, shortly before landing the role in “Tehran.
“I surprised myself — I was quite good,” she says of her fighting skills. “I mean, I’m so small and I thought, ‘I’m going to be weak,’ but I was good at the end. It’s so good because it released things, so much energy.
