Navid Negahban is an Iranian-born actor known for his live-action roles in television series such as Homeland, but he has also contributed voice work to animated projects, including anime. One of his notable roles in this field is Prior Sala in the Netflix animated series Castlevania, a character who serves as the leader of the monks in Lindenfeld and an antagonist in the third season. In addition to voicing Sala, Negahban also provided the voice for the Shopkeeper in the same series.

Negahban developed a passion for acting early in life and spent eight years in Germany honing his theatrical skills before moving to the United States. This background in theater has contributed to his ability to perform nuanced voice work, allowing him to convey emotion and character depth through vocal performance alone.

While Castlevania stands as a primary example of his anime voice acting, his broader voice work includes roles in other animated series and films such as Pantheon, WondLa, and the DC animated film Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham. He has also voiced characters in the animated feature Window Horses. In the voice acting industry, one of his frequent collaborators is voice actress Kari Wahlgren, with whom he has worked on multiple projects.

Negahban's career in animation represents an extension of his wider acting repertoire, which spans live-action film and television, and his linguistic abilities in English, Farsi, and German have supported his work on diverse characters, including those requiring authentic accents or multilingual dialogue. However, detailed information about his specific roles in Japanese anime, beyond Castlevania, remains limited.
