Career

N.F Varghese started his career as a mimicry artist in Kalabhavan. He later became a member of Cochin Harishree. He also worked as a manager in these mimicry troupes. He first acted in a small role in the 1986 movie Pappan Priyappetta Pappan, written by Siddique-Lal and directed by Sathyan Anthikkad.[5] The movie was produced by the owner of Cochin Harishree, G. S. Harindran itself and was the debut movie of Siddique-Lal duo along with Harisree Asokan. Later, Varghese went on to act in small roles in several movies and it was the 1993 movie Akashadoothu, which gave a breakthrough in his film career. In this movie, which is considered one of the most influential melodramas of the 1990s in Malayalam, he played the antagonist role. He later went on to act on several memorable character and villain roles in Malayalam cinema. N.F. Varghese is best known for his roles in movies such as Spadikam, Samudayam, Aksharam, Lelam, Kudamattam, Patram, Commissioner, Sallapam, Punjabi House, Manthramothiram, Narasimham, Praja, Dubai, Ravanaprabhu, Nandanam, Ustad, F.I.R, Valliettan, Nariman, Sundara Purushan, Priyam, Vazhunnor, Onnaman and Phantom.

Though he played some of the best character roles in Malayalam, Varghese is mostly remembered for portraying some villain characters mainly because of his peculiar voice. His role as Vishawanathan in Pathram and Mambaram Bavan in Valliettan are such ones. His last credited role was in the 2003 comedy movie Sahodharan Sahadevan, which got released an year after his death.[6]
