For example he played in the TV series "Sjukan", which was a Swedish version of British sitcom "Only When I Laugh".His Iranian origin allowed him to play on the prejudices about immigrants from different countries, while also making jokes about racists of all sorts. This made him unpopular in the nationalist movements.
