Who Plays Rahim in Love, Victor Season 2?
Anthony Kevyam is the freshest face in the cast of Love, Victor. His role is that of a boy from an Iranian Muslim family who is a quirky gay student at Creekwood. Rahim is the new love interest of Victor and his story this season will be similar to that of Victor’s. Victor struggled and faced challenges in the wake of his journey to self-discovery. Rahim will have a similar arc with him having to contend with his religious Muslim family regarding his sexual identity. In an interview Anthony did with Distractify, he talked about the character of Rahim and his Muslim background. “Rahim is at the beginning of his coming-out story, and he looks to Victor as Victor looked to Simon for guidance and support during this time because it’s obviously really scary and new for him, especially being Muslim,” Anthony said about Rahim’s background and his relationship with Victor. “Coming from a Muslim family, that’s not something that is ever talked about or accepted really, so it’s really cool that I get to share that story,” Anthony added.
