Phantom of the Opera- inspired audioplay
Karim Kronfli for Nadir Khan
(Note- Although his accent is listed as Arabic, Nadir has slight to moderate Iranian/Persian accent.)
Nadir is an Iranian man with a mysterious past. He saved Erik's life, and now feels responsible for any harm that Erik causes.
Nadir is one of the four leads. His character is the Daroga of the original novel.
I'm looking for an older sounding voice with a light to moderate Iranian/Persian accent. A good example of Nadir's character and accent would be Big Finish production's radio drama of Leroux's Phantom of the opera.
(Anger, yet he knows he's dealing with a dangerous person)
You know why I'm here, Erik! You
lied to me! That ...that stuff is missing. You brought it here! I don't know
how the hell you did it! But you managed to get it past every international
checkpoint!(Jumpy, muttering to himself)
Ah! (He jumps, but then sighs.) You’re an old fool, Nadir.
Jumping at sounds and shadows. (A roach scurries by his feet and he jumps
again.) Ah! Oh...just a roach. This motel is filthy, but at least I didn’t have
to use my real name.(Muttering to himself, trying to solve a mystery)
What is Erik doing with that girl?
There is no explanation. He can’t be seeking a ransom...Ms. Daae is barely
above the poverty line. The way he acted, it was almost as if he-
(Amused realization) It can’t be
that he has feelings for the girl...The invisible masked man in love.
(Light
laugh that fades out as a disturbed realization hits him.)
Men do crazy and desperate things in the
name of love. Oh, my friend...what will you do when you realize that your love
will be unrequited...?
