Golzar began his career in 1998 as a guitarist with the Arian music band. He later ventured into acting, making his debut in the film Sam and Narges (2000), directed by Iraj Ghaderi. Golzar has appeared in several commercially successful Iranian films, including Hello Mumbai (2015), Side Mirror (2017), Rahman 1400 (2018), and We Are All Together (2019). In addition to his cinematic work, he has acted in several television projects, such as Romantic (2016–2017), Made in Iran 2 (2018), and Gisoo (2020–2021).
Early life Mohammadreza Golzar was born on 22 March 1977 in Tehran. He is of Azerbaijani and Persian descent. As a volleyball player, he played as a libero for teams including Tehran Province, Pars Khodro, Shisheh va Gaz, and Diheim. In the 2008 Iranian Volleyball Super League, he served as a fitness coach for the Sanat vibrations team. He had no artistic activities until the end of high school. His father opposed his playing the guitar, though he occasionally played keyboard. Golzar studied mathematics until his third year of high school and was accepted into the mechanical engineering program at the Islamic Azad University, South Tehran Branch, through the entrance exam, which he reserved. In his final year, he switched to the experimental sciences track, aiming to pursue dentistry but was not accepted and instead continued with mechanical engineering.

He later co-founded the Darkoob music group with Homayoun Nasiri and others and established the Rezzar band (short for Reza Golzar), which remains active. Despite being invited to act in films by directors Mosoud Kimiai, Bahram Beyzai, and Dariush Mehrjui, Golzar was unable to participate for various reasons.
In June 2023, Golzar married Aisan Aghakhani, a model.
