Career
[edit]Novak initially appeared on various British shows, including Family Affairs, Holby City, and Spooks. In 2005, he and Ed Tracy created Fonejacker, a prank call show as part of Channel 4's Comedy Lab strand.[6] After the pilot, he was given a Christmas special and a six-part series, which began airing on 5 July 2007 on E4; and 7 September 2007 on Channel 4. In November 2009, he appeared on the Channel 4 show The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, playing a bomb-disposal officer. In April 2010, Novak began appearing in a spin-off of Fonejacker called Facejacker, in which he adopted various disguises, including several characters heard in Fonejacker. Novak announced on BBC Radio 1 in May 2012 that the character Terry Tibbs, a mainstay of both shows, would be getting a spin-off chat show; this aired in August 2012.[7] Novak played Simon in the Channel 4 sitcom pilot Bad Sugar.[3]
Novak filmed a scene for This Is England '86 which was cut from the final broadcast, but appears in the DVD extras. He was also one of the main characters in the television show Sirens, which began on 27 June 2011 on Channel 4 in the UK. Novak also featured in two episodes of Phone Shop, the first in Series 1, titled "The First Temptation of Chris", and the second in Series 2, titled "Revenge of the Razz". He played area manager Razz Prince. In addition to acting, Novak has made appearances as himself on shows Soccer AM, 8 out of 10 Cats, Celebrity Big Brother's Little Brother, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Novak appeared as an intelligence officer in the Academy Award-winning film Syriana. In 2008, he appeared in micro-budget B-movie The Blue Tower.[8] He also appeared in the 2010 comedy Four Lions, in which he played the dim-witted Waj, a role for which he won the award for Best Comedy Performance in a British Film at the 2010 British Comedy Awards, beating fellow actor Nigel Lindsay, who was nominated for his role in the same film.[9]
Novak appeared as Alok in the first series of BBC Radio 4 comedy Fags, Mags and Bags. He has provided voice work for three video games: Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo. He also voiced various characters in the ITV spoof sketch show Headcases, and in the 2012 Channel 4 animated series Full English. He lent his vocals to British band Beady Eye's 2013 song "Flick of the Finger".[10]
In 2013, he appeared as Effy Stonem's boss in the Skins episode "Skins Fire". He voiced a Cyberman head called Handles in the Doctor Who 2013 Christmas special "The Time of the Doctor".[11] He had a starring role in the last episode of the first series of Uncle as Mo, the boss of a fictional record label.[12] In 2014, he played Paul in the second episode ("A Quiet Night In") of Inside No. 9.[13] Also in 2014, he appeared in Episode 1, Series 3 of Rev. as the Imam, Yussef Hasan.[14]
Since 2015, he has voiced the character of Brains in the revived ITV series Thunderbirds Are Go.[15] In 2015, he featured in the sitcom Asylum as "Rafael".[16] In May 2015, he appeared in a new comedy series called SunTrap on BBC1. In May 2017, Novak appeared in Channel 4's Britain Today, Tonight.[17][18]
In 2019, Novak was cast as the vampire Nandor The Relentless in the mockumentary comedy horror television series What We Do In The Shadows. The show is based on the 2014 film of the same name.
Novak speaks fluent Persian, as seen on the second episode of Season 2 (“Ghosts”) of What We Do in the Shadows.
In 2021, he released eight episodes of "All New Fonejacker Podcast" on Audible and starred as Roger in Disney's Cruella.

Early life
Family background
Kayvan Novak was born on 23 November 1978 in Cricklewood, North London, England, to Iranian immigrant parents who had emigrated from Iran to the United Kingdom prior to his birth.[9][2] His father worked as an accountant and his mother as a primary school teacher.[3] His family maintained strong ties to their Iranian roots, with relatives still living in Tehran, whom Novak visits annually when possible.[2] Novak's upbringing was shaped by his Iranian heritage, as his parents instilled a deep awareness of Persian culture and traditions in him from an early age.[2] This cultural influence contributed to his bilingual proficiency in English and Persian, reflecting the dual linguistic environment of his household.[2] He has spoken about growing more conscious of his heritage over time, particularly through family practices that emphasized Iranian identity amid his life in London.[2] His early childhood was spent in the diverse urban setting of North London, where family life revolved around these cultural elements, fostering a sense of connection to both British and Iranian worlds before he entered formal education.[9][2]Education
Novak received his secondary education at Highgate School, a private institution in North London, where he developed an early interest in performance despite academic challenges that led to his expulsion at age 17 due to truancy and poor grades.[10][11][12] Following his departure from Highgate, Novak enrolled at the Fine Arts College in Hampstead, an independent sixth-form college focused on nurturing creative talents through a flexible curriculum in visual arts, performing arts, and related disciplines.[2] This environment allowed him to emphasize artistic development, aligning with his growing passion for the arts. Novak then pursued formal dramatic training at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London, a renowned conservatoire.[2] There, he received training in acting techniques, preparing him for professional opportunities in theater and screen acting.[10]Personal life
Marriage and family
Kayvan Novak is married to English actress Talitha Stone, known for her roles in Game of Thrones and Wrong Turn 6.[13] They met around December 2015 through shared professional circles in the British entertainment industry, where both pursued acting careers.[14] The couple became engaged in July 2022 and later married.[14] In 2024, Novak and Stone welcomed their first child, a son.[15] The family has since focused on nurturing their new addition while prioritizing a low-key lifestyle away from public scrutiny. Novak occasionally shares glimpses of family moments, such as a May 2025 photo marking his son's first birthday, but otherwise limits disclosures to protect their privacy.[15] Their son carries Novak's Iranian heritage, reflecting the actor's roots.[2]Activism and views
In May 2025, Kayvan Novak publicly condemned Israel's military actions in Gaza through a personal Instagram post, highlighting the deaths of Palestinian children. Sharing a photo of his one-year-old son, he wrote: "This is my son. He just turned 1. From the time of his conception until now Israel has massacred and continues to massacre THOUSANDS of Palestinian children just like him, just like my son."[15] The statement, posted on 21 May, drew attention to the human cost of the conflict, contrasting the safety of his own child with the plight of Palestinian families.[15] Novak's post positioned him within a broader wave of celebrity advocacy for Palestinian rights amid the ongoing war in Gaza, which has resulted in significant civilian casualties, including thousands of children.[15] While Novak has not been extensively documented as a long-term activist, this expression aligned with collective efforts by artists, such as open letters from over 2,000 UK creatives calling for a ceasefire.[15] He has primarily addressed such issues through personal social media rather than organized campaigns.[15]Career
Early career and comedy
Novak began his professional acting career in 2002, appearing in minor roles on British television series such as The American Embassy, Judge John Deed, and Family Affairs.[16] Building on his dramatic training from the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art (now part of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama), he continued with small parts in shows like Holby City in 2004 and Spooks in 2005, as well as a brief role in the film Syriana that same year, often portraying ethnic villains or supporting characters.[17] These early appearances established him as a jobbing actor navigating the competitive British TV landscape.[18] In 2005, Novak co-created Fonejacker with writer and animator Ed Tracy as a pilot for Channel 4's Comedy Lab, which led to a full series airing on E4 from 2007 to 2008.[10] The show's concept centered on prank telephone calls where Novak voiced a variety of eccentric characters using exaggerated accents—such as a camp African scam artist or an Indian call center operator—while Tracy provided simple animations to visualize the scenarios, turning miscommunications into absurd comedy.[17] Its style emphasized Novak's improvisational skills and vocal versatility, blending cringe humor with quotable catchphrases, and it received critical acclaim for revitalizing the prank call genre, culminating in a BAFTA Television Award for Best Comedy in 2008.[19] Novak and Tracy developed Facejacker as a natural evolution of Fonejacker, premiering on Channel 4 in 2010 and running until 2012, shifting the format from phone pranks to in-person interactions using prosthetics and disguises for added realism.[20] Key characters included the sleazy used-car salesman Terry Tibbs, the fraudulent art critic Brian Badonde, and the pompous doctor Augustus Kwembe, allowing Novak to improvise chaotic encounters in public settings like shops or streets.[17] The series' bold, mischievous approach drew comparisons to Sacha Baron Cohen's work and had a significant impact on British comedy by popularizing character-based hidden-camera sketches, earning a BAFTA nomination for Entertainment Performance in 2011 and inspiring discussions on the ethics and hilarity of real-life deception.[17][21]Breakthrough and major roles
Novak achieved his breakthrough with the role of Waj in the 2010 black comedy Four Lions, directed by Chris Morris. As the dim-witted sidekick to the group's leader Omar (Riz Ahmed), Waj is depicted as a loyal but clueless recruit who struggles with basic concepts, such as confusing a chicken for a rabbit and studying jihadist ideology through children's books like The Cat Who Went to Mecca. Novak's performance draws on his comedy background to infuse the character with a "friendly giant" vibe, blending hapless innocence with improvised northern banter that heightens the film's absurd humor.[22][23] The film satirizes the incompetence and ideological entrapment of homegrown terrorism through a group of bumbling British Muslim extremists plotting to bomb the London Marathon, portraying them as ordinary men undone by their own frailty rather than portraying them as unrelenting villains. This farcical approach critiques the banality of extremism while humanizing its perpetrators in unexpected ways, earning widespread critical acclaim for its sharp wit and courage in tackling taboo subjects. Four Lions was hailed as a "stiletto-sharp satire" that balances slapstick with grim realism, contributing to its status as a cult favorite and boosting Novak's profile in dramatic comedy.[22][24] Novak's portrayal of Nandor the Relentless in the FX mockumentary series What We Do in the Shadows (2019–2024) further elevated his career, earning him international recognition as the pompous, 750-year-old vampire leader of a dysfunctional Staten Island houseshare. Originally an Ottoman warrior, Nandor evolves from a bullying, self-important figure reliant on his human familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) to one showing rare vulnerability, particularly in their deepening bond marked by tension and reluctant affection across seasons. Novak's deadpan delivery and physical comedy capture Nandor's pernickety arrogance—obsessing over house rules like bloodstains—while allowing glimpses of pathos, such as his ill-fated solo adventures.[25] The series, adapted from the 2014 Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement film, achieved critical and commercial success for its refined absurdism and ensemble chemistry, culminating in its sixth and final season as a peak of comedic composition. It received 35 Primetime Emmy nominations, including four for Outstanding Comedy Series, underscoring its impact in blending vampire lore with mundane sitcom tropes.[26] In Cruella (2021), Novak played Roger Dearly, the Baroness von Hellman's awkward lawyer and eventual ally to the titular antiheroine (Emma Stone), bringing a schlubby charm to the role amid the film's punk-rock fashion spectacle. His performance style emphasizes subtle comic timing and understated support, contrasting the high-energy leads while hinting at Roger's romantic potential with Anita (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), setting up connections to the 101 Dalmatians lore. Though somewhat underutilized in the sprawling narrative, Novak's contribution adds grounded humor to the prequel's chaotic revenge tale.[27][28]Recent projects and voice work
In 2025, Kayvan Novak expanded his voice acting portfolio with recurring and guest roles in animated series, building on the comedic versatility honed in his live-action work. He provided the voice for Thurstavius "Thurst" Brinkman Throop, a quirky character in the Disney Channel animated series StuGo, which premiered on January 11, 2025, and features episodes centered on absurd suburban adventures. His performance appeared notably in the episode "Unquenchable Thurst," aired on March 22, 2025, where Thurst's antics drive the plot involving relaxation techniques gone awry.[29] Novak also lent his voice to the character Man O'Horse, a centaur racer, in a guest spot on the Fox animated series Krapopolis during its second season. This role came in the episode "Love Week," broadcast on May 4, 2025, which explores themes of romance and rivalry in an ancient mythological setting, reuniting Novak with What We Do in the Shadows co-star Matt Berry in a comedic context.[30] The legacy of his portrayal of Nandor the Relentless has notably opened doors to such voice opportunities, allowing Novak to channel similar deadpan humor into animated formats.[31] Beyond on-screen work, Novak engaged with fans at conventions, including a prominent appearance at GalaxyCon Richmond on March 28-29, 2025, where he participated in photo ops, Q&A sessions, and panels discussing his career highlights.[32] His contributions to What We Do in the Shadows earned him a nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy Series at the 30th Annual Critics Choice Awards, announced on December 5, 2024, recognizing his final season performance as Nandor, though he did not attend the February 7, 2025, ceremony.[33]Filmography
Film
Novak's feature film debut came in the political thriller Syriana, where he portrayed Arash, a minor character involved in intelligence matters.[34] In 2008, he appeared in the independent thriller The Blue Tower as Ashok, the confident brother-in-law navigating family tensions. His breakthrough role arrived in 2010 with the satirical comedy Four Lions, in which he played Waj, a hapless and loyal member of a misguided jihadist cell. Novak took on the supporting part of Bejan, a dance enthusiast and friend to the protagonist, in the 2014 dance comedy Cuban Fury. That same year, he portrayed Grant, a sleazy animal trader who supplies exotic creatures, in the family adventure Paddington.[35] In the 2016 horror comedy Prevenge, Novak played Tom, the unsuspecting partner of the pregnant protagonist. He provided voice work in the 2018 animated film Early Man, voicing Dino, a scheming assistant to the villain, and Jurgend, the arrogant captain of a bronze-age football team.[36] Novak appeared as Reza, an informant entangled in a botched FBI operation, in the 2019 black comedy The Day Shall Come. In Men in Black: International (2019), he portrayed multiple alien characters, including the royal Vungus, the motorcycle enthusiast Nasr, and the hidden Bassam.[37] His most recent film role to date is Roger, the bumbling lawyer and aspiring songwriter who aids the lead, in the 2021 live-action prequel Cruella.[38] No additional feature film credits for Novak have been documented through 2025.Television
