Television
Reza Kianian has acted in some television series as well. Perhaps his most memorable role in television has been his character 'Jamshid' in Shelik-e Nahaee (The Final Shot) directed by Mohsen Shahmohammadi, where 'Jamshid-style' outfits and hairstyle became popular with the youth of Iran. In Keef-e Ingilisi (The English Bag) and Doran-e Sarkeshi (The Rebel Years) he portrayed an old clergyman and a judge respectively, which are considered his most controversial roles to date.
