'The Blacklist' Star Amir Arison May Be Leaving The Show for a Big Movie

The popular television series "The Blacklist" has thrilled viewers for many years. Among the many stars on the show is Amir Arison, who plays Aram Mojtabai -a cyber expert with the FBI.

His character starred as the technical mastermind of the bureau, applying his computer skills to help his team solve cases.

However, a recent happening in season nine made many speculate that the producers were cutting off his character. In episode three, Mojtabai had to choose between remaining on the team or leaving to work for a potential investor.

Fans felt that it was scripted just in case actor Arison's new role in a Hulu miniseries was a permanent feature and not temporary. Considering this, fans are looking for answers to the questions surrounding Arison staying on "The Blacklist."

Over time, Arison's character Aram proved that the FBI was lucky to have him. His role as their tech wiz helped break several dead ends in cases. Aram still found time to apply his considerable ingenuity in his personal software projects despite the intensity of his work.

Alongside a friend, he created a security software company worth millions if they could get more backing. For Aram, the company was to serve as a means to secure his financial future.

Fortune smiled on him on season nine, episode three of the show when an investor finally decided to pump millions of dollars into the company. On the downside, Aram would have to give up his role in the FBI for good and turn his attention to the company.

This decision left him in an emotional jam as his bond with his colleagues seemed too tight to break. Ultimately, Aram sold his stake in the firm and stayed to continue with the bureau.

When "The Blacklist" premiered almost a decade ago, Arison was cast as a recurring character. He appeared in 18 of the 22 episodes of the first season.

Since then, he has featured in over 160 episodes etching his place as a mainstay on the show. The intensity of the show's production rarely afforded him the time to take up more than a handful of features in some films and small cameos in tv shows.

One of such few and far between instances is Arison's upcoming role in Hulu miniseries "The Dropout." According to IMDB, he portrayed Avie Tevanian in a similar role as "The Blacklist."

Currently, it is unknown whether his role in the upcoming miniseries is a permanent feature. Fans are more concerned with the sad fact that Arison's days on "The Blacklist" might be numbered because of this new project. However, it is safe to assume that he would remain with the crime thriller as his name appeared on IMDB as a feature in "The Blacklist" season nine, episode four.

The actor first began his career as a theater actor before embarking on a television career. He had starring roles in stage plays like "Omnium Gatherum," "Modern Orthodox," and "Aftermath."

Despite his passion for acting, Arison's father was not pleased with his son's decision to fully pursue a career in that line. He worried that the industry was too cutthroat for him to make it.

Later on, he had a change of heart when Arison's talent earned him roles and has since supported him wholeheartedly,

Arison still maintains a dual interest in stage and screen works. He is popularly known for his role as FBI Special Agent Aram Mojtabai in the crime thriller "The Blacklist," which is currently in its ninth season.

In addition to his role on "The Blacklist," the Missouri-born has several acting credits to his name, majorly in crime dramas like "Law and Order," "Homeland," and "NCIS."

Outside his career as an actor, Arison recently picked up an interest in working behind the scenes. According to Hollywood Life, he directed a documentary titled "Tati" - a behind-the-scenes film of 8-year-old Tatianna Bernard on her journey while undergoing treatment for a medulloblastoma brain tumor.

At that time, Arison disclosed how much the project impacted him. "I'm still working with her," the actor said. "We're about six and a half months into filming the doc. We probably have a few more months of filming to go. It's changed my life."

He continued saying, "The Blacklist has probably been the most exciting acting gig of my life, but this is rewarding on a whole different level. It requires certain care, sensitivity, responsibility, obligation, commitment to this family."

In addition to this, Arison has participated in advocacy roles for mental health, animal rescue, and arts education.
