Few have taken a path to Hollywood blocked by more obstacles than Azita Ghanizada. Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, the actress was brought to the States by her parents as a baby. They had only one goal in mind, to survive.
Ghanizada stars in the new SyFy show "Alphas" and is showing her parents they made the right choice, bringing the family to America.
"Everybody kind of fled as the Russians were coming and going into different camps on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan and Iran," Ghanizada said in a recent phone interview with the Tribune from a shooting location in Toronto. "We fled Tehran and into the United States. My mom single handedly took ... her family out of refugee camps..."
Alphas premieres Monday, July 11, 2011 at 10/9C on Syfy.
