Shervin Lalezary, Hero of the L.A. Fires

[BaThEeShA]

He has a funny laugh lol.

[VongolaXEspada]

I'm Iranian to!

[shinethelove1]

He is a Persian yet also Jewish. Bravo shervin !

[Skating4ChickenFilms]

Shervin power, persian power

[shervinthepersian]

Dammit thought I was the only Shervin to be on TV

[gailfern]

a real life dwight schrute to the rescue!! awesome job man!

[MrKoskesh]

Reserve officers do not get paid

[MiniAndDawn]

Nah they get paid too lil, thats what he means Im pretty sure.

[Sometimessadsometime]

Omigosh only 1 dollar! That is so ridiculous!

[samostas]

Looks like a nice fellow, let's bomb his ancestral country....

[pauly1234ily]

i love his laugh<333

[farro1224]

he is Iranian,we are even rescuing iranian fish boat from pirates by us army.lol

[missglamorousxo]

He really makes $1 a year??

[nsslove]

what is this about?

[5471benl]

Hmm... It could really help if Ellen gave him more than 2 dollars that's barely enough to pay government taxes , food, pay electric bills and also water bills.

[unholychunk]

this is a good example of a police officer unlike a lot of pigs that are out there. fuck the pigs,respect police officers.

[USMCSgrDdy]

Way to go Lalezary! Too bad he wont be able to accept the VIP trip to Australia. It would mean he is violating L.A. County policy, ethics, law prohibiting County employees from accepting gifts worth more than $100.

[absolom0]

A proud Iranian!

[Luckylee316]

Thank you

[EverlestingM]

So Proud of You Shervin. Thank u & I love You Ellen.

[5bubbah]

can we try to leave his nationality out of this? He is a hero to his community and that is all that matters!

[AllThingsRandom4444]

He has a really annoying laugh!

[NicoleValinejad]

awww.. isn't he just adorable!? :-D

[19BenZ57]

Well about US Police, mostly they are brutal, brainless, bullies, mean, vicious , gorillas which their mission is to intimidate ,beat, kill, rape...if they can get away with it.

They are corrupt and nothing less than Islamic Police in IRAN.

2 months ago I was beaten by Minneapoils police mean fat dumb ass ...

Unfurtunatly nobody recorded it.

We are living in Police State, State of Fear

Their Brains are in their Ass, with Guns to protect

باعث افتخارمانی شروین جان، آرزومند موفقیت روز افزونت

[ardnega]

I hope he has no plans to travel to Iran coz you know the Iranians would just label him as a spy.

[SJB2ST]

oh he's so nice, love the way he talks and he's funny too :)

[vrpersia]

very nice. He is humble and modest. mersi shervin joon. very proud of you.

[kakooly]

[IndiasFinestCoD]

I bet the brother's like "Dang it. I could be up there. But NOOOOO

[Hilary44Hilary]

[hedipb1]

"Shervin" in Farsi means "Like a Lion"

[BrianHamiltonTV]

@hedipb1 thanks for sharing that. It's an apropos name for him!

[jadeKClovesyou]

I felt a bit awkward when he started to clap...

[ellenbrena126]

see this amazing site that also:

brunosupershow.blogspot.com

[stewie3555]

Whenever you think of an Iranian picture this guy in your mind instead of Ahmedinezhad

[8MunchenBayern8]

someone's gona get a lotttt of pussyyyyyy

[kim101318]

was he joking when he said 1 dollar a year? :O

[BrianHamiltonTV]

@kim101318 Not joking. As a volunteer, he works essentially for free--but for some book keeping or legal reason volunteers are paid one dollar a year.

[shayan22h]

@kim101318 no, he really gets 1 dollar a year :(

[1shirin]

@shayan22h 63 cents after taxes! But he's a real estate attorney

[1Shahnaz1]

Amazing job Shervin. Why couldn't Ellen or the mayor say something like "I'm sure the Iranian community is very proud of you as well" or "Just another example of how the Iranian-American community contributes so much to our country" It would have been great to add so people who can't tell by his name, Shervin, that he's Iranian would know too. If this was like a latino guy they would have mentioned it a hundred times. Either way thanks Ellen for having him on your show :)

[BrianHamiltonTV]

@1Shahnaz1 that's a good point. It would've been nice to share that detail on national TV. In many local articles and interviews, his ethnicity was mentioned in the story.

[closerstepaway]

He's so cute~

[farshid71]

His real job is real estate attorney, so I'm sure he makes good money.

[gravitybongo]

It was nice if ellen to give him the vacation but with his low salary I think giving him money would have been more appropriate(although he probably has another job to support himself). And also how do yall know he's Iranian? Does his name give it away? I never knew they could be so handsome! Every time I think of Iranian men I think of Ahmadenijad and Khomeni lol. But him and his brother are both super handsome, probably wont be single for long haha! Love your show Ellen! - Katherine

[farshid71]

@gravitybongo Good God Ahmadnejad and Khomeni their background I dont even think they are Iranians. Look up "Iranian/Persian male models and celebrities" on youtube

[achamenian2500]

as an iranian i really really proud of you.... you are a real persian prince .

[Persian140269]

well done shervin !! we are proud of u !

[amir4barca]

Persian Power to the max! yeah buddy!

[SuperShabro]

all Iranian whole of the world proud to you.

[Minajavaherbin9]

He's an Iranian American, reserved deputy sheriff.

[Minajavaherbin9]

He is a volunteer. That's why he gets one dollar a year? Right?

[ANTHONYSHAMS]

Go Shervin... You The Man

[TWlSTEDGlRL28]

OMG HE IS SINGLE!!!!

[SupernaturalLove100]

they get paid one dollar a year?! WHAT??!!

[MichaAnita]

He's soooo stinking cute!! I just want to wrap him up and cuddle him!

[sarakbar]

I am wondering if he did something wrong then his original nationality (Iranian) would have been part of the headlines!

[Matthew3590]

@sarakbar he is obviously born here so his only nationality is American.

[missytaterhead]

"i am single" HOW THOUGH

[lordvelmort]

NICE JOB !

[ariamor7]

Just persian (iranian) people love iran not arab :D

[Joleine28]

"Budget cut" haha, love him! I'd be sooo freaking nervous! Isn't that what Dwight Schrute also did the first couple of seasons of The Office?

[pmortazavi]

Persians (Iranians) are not Arab!!! :D

[tuneesq]

damesh garm, makes me proud to be a fellow hairy-chester.

[ItsAudreyBtchs]

i dont understand how he can live off a dollar a year...

[aimeegreenx0]

@ItsAudreyBtchs he has another job besides that! :)

[iwillknowyou4ever]

What guy ? (the fire guy, in the car)

[hghaedi]

This guy is awesome

Wish you the best Shervin

[JoMoQatar]

Right?



[suhnation24]

at first glance... i thought his brother was leonard from TBBT

[wysteriaqueenfaerie]

whhhhaaaatttt??? one dollar a year!? why!? *sigh* *shakes head*

[arezourazbannia]

So proud of you Shervin! There should be more people like you out there in the world. You are truly an amazing person and a hero. You are an insspiration.

[19BenZ57]

well, enough...

I'm unknown Persian!

from PERSIA with Passion 

[kimkickkt]

he is iranian in'n he ?

[Mileneum69]

@kimkickkt Its still Persian. But yes he was born in Tehran, Iran.

[djvady]

Damn hes cute :-P

[Gigigirl01]

I guess I just found my future husband... *-*

[19BenZ57]

@Gigigirl01 how about me ?

[Gigigirl01]

@19BenZ57 well how many lives have you saved so far? :D

[shahnazim01]

Mr.Shervin Lalezary , I am so proud of you ! Wish you best !

[MrAshi1210]

proud of you shervin , you are handsome , gentelman , educated iranian- american ,,,,,,every body proud of you and you are always hero in history of United state ...

[longliveario]

we persian people from your born country are proud of you and wish you luck in your life.

[Mileneum69]

This guy is sooo damn good looking!

[longliveario]

@Mileneum69 all persian men are handsome :P

[PersianKitKat]

damesh garm - and on top of that he is adorable - love his laugh - makes me smile - thank you Shervin jan!!!

[vkhaida]

I really proud of him.he is hero for sure.thank you so much Shervin jun.good luck.

[vkhaida]

I think he is hero.he did great job.I'm sure ha save a lot of people.

[waltbaby08]

@Weeakend Unfortunately I did. But I still do not think he's a hero. He was doing his job. If a Volunteer Fire Fighter were to save a puppy from a burning building, would that make him a hero? No, it wouldn't!

[longliveario]

@waltbaby08 u are retard. why? cause he didn't save a puppy's life. this criminal guy was responsible for many fires and put citizen's life in danger

[waltbaby08]

@longliveario Police Officers take drug dealers and murders off the streets everyday and yet they are not labeled as heroes. But because he was a Volunteer, he gets to become a hero? Um sounds like someone is just doing their jobs. But if you want to label me a retard like you want to label him as a hero, I'll take it.

[pouriagangster]

i am an iranian i am proud of you :)

[s2dorisyeung]

his laugh is like a little kid seeing a bucket full of icecream

[WineRedX]

Persia Power :) .

[mydee1]

Well well, Persian-American Heroes. Love seeing that. Hope this makes some people reconsider their resentments towards people with Iranian background. Obviously they're not "all terrorists", in fact very very few are.

[farshid71]

@mydee1 Infact there aren't any Iranian terrorists, most of the terrorists we seen so far have been arabs or whites.

[XBOREDX5]

@farshid71 arabs are not terrorists ,just saying

[farshid71]

@XBOREDX5 I was just pointing out the terrorists we seen so far, 9-11 and other attacks have been by arabs. Not generalizing.

[longliveario]

@farshid71 who's arab?! check your map :))

[farshid71]

@longliveario Not sure what you are saying..

[XBOREDX5]

@farshid71 Blame 9 - 11 on all arabs ,thats so racist ! how would you like it if i judged on all whites/blacks/americans etc . basied on one bad thing that ONE person did .

[farshid71]

@XBOREDX5 Maybe you need to read my post again, I just pointed out 9-11 was done by Arabs, 19 Arabs. I was not generalizing that all arabs are terrorists.

If I had said ALL arabs were terrorist that is one thing.

[Mileneum69]

@farshid71 And half of them were schooled by the US.

[darvish90210]

Another bravo to Iranian living in USA, Another act of good citizenship of Iranian living in this great country!! American government has made it clear that Iranian living in USA, are the most law abiding citizen's with the most contribution to the economy of USA.. Just imagine what Iran could be if Iran is FREE?? Iran and Iranian have always been peaceful and loving people until Islamic rapist of Mullah's has brought the darkest period for all of us.. Bravo to this young man!!

[davisdarvish]

@darvish90210 Who is this darvish90210 person... a good chance you are in my family. He is an example of how great persian people can be, doing a crazy job like that for a dollar a year. but lets not get too far with iranians being the most law abiding citizens etc etc.. there are some shady characters as well.

[isingtomyownbeat08]

His laugh reminds me of David Archuleta

[00claud]

i loved this!!! so happy they caught the idiot.

[chanellaaay]

Why do they only get a dollar a year?! :o

[longliveario]

@chanellaaay cause he is doing that job as a volunteer. 

[worddROCK]

@chanellaaay he's a volunteer deputy, that's why he only comes in once or twice a week!

[TeamStephenson]

@chanellaaay because they are volunteers

[scrswtieyrs4evr]

lol his laugh is precious.

[anhminhlaughnlive]

@scrswtieyrs4evr couldn't agree more :D

[farnoud]

what did mayor give him?

[aimstheotter]

@farnoud he gave him a piece of paper in a frame!! Nice!

[farnoud]

@aimstheotter not even a dollar?! how stingy is that.

[WinnieLautnerRAWR]

This made me smile soo much ^___^

[ThePkmart]

such a cutie



[tamNgoLOL13]

he laugh so cute (: ahas

[yayyay533]

Hey, Shervin, Katy Perry's single.

I can totally see Ellen hooking them up :D

[foliagegirl1010]

I want to marry him.

[jsbeard18]

Shervin Lalezary is Persian Jewish. Represent us Pews (Persian Jews) homie!

[misheymoshey27]

man, he really under reacted when the mayor gave him that certificate - that's big and he was so calm

[misheymoshey27]

i'm persian and i've never been more proud to be part of the persian community!

[Jacob2626]

Why did they have to bring that useless idiot of a mayor in to ruin this video? He is the opposite of what Shervin stands for.

[izzyisawesome1000]

his badge is so shiny (:

[GleekGlambert21]

He is so adorable!

[MsAsificare]

I don't get it. So he just pulled a guy over, and he happened to be The Guy? That's what makes him a hero? Don't get me wrong, maybe i just don't know the whole story?

[annguy07]

@MsAsificare On some level, I can see where you are coming from. I think, however, he trusted his instincts and caught a guy who is suspected of 50 or so arsons around the area causing more than a million dollars in damages. Mr. Lalezary also potentially stopped any further damages even deaths that can be caused by the arsonist. Yeah, you know, the word hero comes around a lot, but in my opinion, I think he is one. Plus, he doesn't brand himself that title. He is just proud of his job.

[farshid71]

His shift finished at midnight and he could have just gone home, but he stayed another 3 hours driving around knowing there was a crazy guy out there setting properties on fire and he managed to catch the guy.  He could have called it the night at midnight and gone home and the next day there were would have been more fire.

[APRILGONZALEZ2000]

Ok he is super hot and sexy in that uniform....I'm available to go to Australia....great job on catching that serial arsonist!

[danecookgal]

SO PROUD!!!! <3

[TheJinroKing]

4:22 huehuehhue troll laugh

[starrox567]

it's so nice how he makes sure to include all the other firefighters when he says his story and how they also do good

[daniellajoon]

He is ADORABLE!

[tuckergolden888]

awesome... :-)

[bigweeniegenie14]

6:03 DAYUUUM that's his bro! good looks must run in the family lol

[bigweeniegenie14]

whatta a guy! plus speaking of fires, he's smooookin hot lol

[DreamsCatchMee]

I LOVE HIS LAUGH!!! so adorable! =D

[arnoush75]

[SweetBayCharms]

[Rikiliciousful]

He is so cute.

[RosidaI]

1 dollar? :o

Wow, he is such a great person for doing that! :D

[laughlovelive132]

Persian Pride Everyone :)

[xojessi]

I LOVE his laugh!

[JenPirante]

That's really awesome,

[waltbaby08]

Why is he being held as a hero for doing his job?

[TheHappyPizzaMan]

@waltbaby08 It is not his job! he is doing this voluntarily .. Jesus did you even listen at what they said? what kind of a job is giving you one dollar a year? ¬.¬"

[waltbaby08]

@TheHappyPizzaMan I really appreciate your responds, however, Shervin was a Volunteer, he still had a job to do. Whether you like it or not, getting paid a dollar a year from your employer is indeed considered a job. Volunteers do not get paid! So, again, he had a job to do, he did nothing heroic.

[julianmarasco]

@waltbaby08 you... are an idiot.

[waltbaby08]

@julianmarasco That's what she said!

[TheHappyPizzaMan]

@waltbaby08 You've got a good point here! :)) 

[BBGRECORDS1]

thatssss my cuzzzzz! Shervvv is the mannn..

[Quincidink]

Wow they are all such handsome men!

[LMR95]

that's the kind of guy i want to marry
