Actor's father arrested by Iranian police due partially to his role in "The Wrestler"

Actor Armin Amiri told Gawker.com that his father was arrested in Iran for helping his son escape the country 20 years ago. "They came and picked him up at 7:30 in the morning, and basically they were asking about me because of my role in The Wrestler, Amiri said.

"They were saying I was a traitor, and also because of my playing a gay character [in Factory Girl], the F-word got thrown around a couple times." Amiri's father was eventually released. You can read the full story at Gawker.com.

Powell's POV: I believe Iron Sheik said it best when he told the world, "Iran number one. Russia number one. USA? Hack ptooey."
