Adrian Pasdar was born April 30, 1965 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts to an Iranian father, Homayoon (a cardiac surgeon) and a German mother, Rosemarie Pasdar (a nurse and writer, born in Königsberg, Germany).

He grew up in Broomall, Pennsylvania and won a football scholarship to the University of Florida. Unfortunately, Pasdar was badly injured in a car accident his Freshman year. The accident left his face scarred and kept him bound to a wheel chair for several months.

Shortly afterward, with a career in athletics now out of the question, Pasdar became an intern with a local theater group in Pennsylvania, building sets and assisting with the sound and lighting. At age 19 he landed his first acting role in Top Gun and has appeared in numerous movies in the past 14 years, including Streets of Gold, Carlito's Way and Near Dark. He also starred in the short lived FOX series Profit which has become a cult classic and also in Mysterious Ways.
