Sodad Iskander was born 1973 in Baghdad, Iraq, in his parent's bedroom. He is Chaldean, a minority descended from the ancient Sumerians. Chaldeans are today Roman Catholics. He was the son of Younan Iskander and Warda Marogi and was the first child of seven siblings. The family moved to London, UK, in 1978 due to a job offer that his father had been given. Sodad went to an English catholic school, St: Mary Abbots Primary School, where acting was a great part in education. There Sodad realized he loved standing on stage. He thrived.

After 5 years in London, in the year of 1983, his father's contract ended and they would have to return to Iraq. But since Iraq was in a very protracted war with Iran, Sodad's parents did not want to take Sodad and his now 3 siblings back to a country at war. They fled to Sweden.

Here they started a new life and thanks to the English school, both Sodad and his younger siblings quickly merged into the community. They made many friends and a whole new era began where the Swedish people showed them love and with open arms.

He started his career in 1991/92 by being an extra in the long-running "Rederiet". Then he started picking some little extra roles here and there. Between 2006-2008, he got a permanent extra role as a station policeman in the popular crime series "BECK" and got many contacts in the industry from there.
