Biography

Actress, comedian and writer Natasha Behnam can be seen starring in the final season of the Netflix hit drama "YOU," where she plays Dominique, a passionate caretaker among her friends who spearheads the takedown of Joe Goldberg (Badgley). You can also see her starring as Lola Rahaii in the HBO Max political dramedy "The Girls on the Bus" which was released in 2024. In a review for The Collider, Taylor Gates wrote, "Behnam is an absolute revelation, infusing Lola with charisma and charm. She's confident yet naive, magnetic yet vulnerable. Lola could easily fall into a grating Gen Z stereotype in lesser hands, but Behnam makes her simply irresistible." Additionally, in an article for the LA Times, Mary McNamara described Behnam's performance by saying "she steals every scene she's in". Behnam has three projects lined up for release in 2026: Apple TV's "Imperfect Women," alongside Kerry Washington and Elisabeth Moss, "Napa Boys," a comedy feature film from Magnolia Pictures, and "CognAItive," an indie horror film with Noel Fisher, Josh Zuckerman, and Piper Curda.
