She subsequently appeared in multiple Saw films, Mission Impossible III (2006), and Memory of a Killer in 2026. Per her Instagram bio, she also works as a real estate agent and public speaking coach.

Advocacy and Nonprofit Work

Alongside her career in entertainment, Bahar and her husband co-founded Angel City Sports. The organization aims to create opportunities and support for adaptive athletes in Southern California. Clayton Frech serves as Ezra's manager, runs the nonprofit, and created the docuseries Adaptive, which followed Ezra and other athletes during the 2024 Paris Paralympics.
