Raza Jaffrey is an English actor and singer, most notable for playing the character of Zafar Younis in the BBC1 television spy drama.
Jaffrey was born in Liverpool, England, the son of an Indian sea captain from Agra and a white English mother from Liverpool. He grew up in London and was educated at Dulwich College (1986–91), alongside fellow Spooks actor Rupert Penry-Jones (1982–89). He studied English and Drama at Manchester University, and studied acting at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

He originally intended to be a pilot, and was to join the Royal Air Force on leaving Manchester University. While at university he appeared in a number of plays at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including The London Vertigo by Brian Friel, and at the Pendley Open Air Shakespeare Festival, including Henry VIII, and A Comedy Of Errors. In his final year at Manchester he worked with RSC chief associate director Gregory Doran which he has cited as one of the things that led him to apply for Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and eventually go on to become a professional actor. Throughout his time at Manchester he was also the lead singer with a jazz funk band.
