Arastoo Vaziri (Season 4–Season 6) is a temporary lab assistant first appearing in the episode "The Salt in the Wounds". Originating from Iran, he is a devout Muslim and prays five times a day. Expecting others would find it odd that he is both a scientist and very religious (a suspicion his co-workers later confirmed), Vaziri decides to put on a false accent to sound "fresh off the boat" and thus make his religious devotion seem like an irrelevant byproduct of his heritage. In season 5 episode "The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" he slips up, and his secret is revealed to the team (and the audience). Dr. Sweets helps Arastoo work through these issues.
