Like Shia LeBeouf in a screenplay competition, Amir struggled to fit in while growing up in Vancouver, WA, where found writing to be the prescription. He comes groomed from the prestigious NBC Page Program, where he worked on a number of notable programs like THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO and Jimmy Fallon's GUYS WITH KIDS. Amir landed a worldwide distribution deal with Gravitas Ventures for his indie feature-comedy hit, THE SEX ADDICT, which received over 1800% ROI and features comedy veterans Horatio Sanz (Saturday Night Live), Ken Davitian (Borat), and Bryan Callen (MADtv).

Most recently, Amir was named to Urban Arts Magazine's 40 Under 40 list, runner-up in Roadmap Writers Diversity Initiative, and received the diversity scholarship to Upright Citizens Brigade for improv and writing.
