Niv Sultan
Between 2015 and 2017, Sultan starred in the Israeli family sitcom La Famiglia on Channel 10. In 2016, she had a regular role alongside Amit Rahav and Daniel Gad in the Israeli youth drama series Susey Pere (Wild Horses) on the TV channel Zoom. In 2017, she starred alongside Omer Dror and Noa Kirel in the Israeli teen comedy Kimaat Mefursemet (Almost Famous).
Sultan was chosen as the lead role in the Apple TV+ Israeli espionage television series Tehran (Hebrew: טהרן), where she stars as Tamar Rabinyan, a Mossad agent working a ground operation in Tehran, Iran.
During a 2020 interview, Sultan explained why she loves portraying Tamar in the series: “For me, that was what I love most about her. I mean, she’s a real person, as you said, she’s not the cliche of a superhero, Mossad agents saving the world. …Yes, she’s brave but she’s also scared, makes mistakes, falls in love, and misses her dad. And I think that’s the beauty of her.”
