==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|Siddique-Lal]] and directed by [[Sathyan Anthikad|Sathyan Anthikkad]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=menonmanoj47@gmail.com|first=മനോജ് മേനോൻ|title=കയ്യിൽ കാശില്ലാതെ തളർന്ന് കയറിയത് എൻ.എഫ് വർഗീസിന്റെ കടയിൽ; ഒരു അനുഭവക്കുറിപ്പ്|url=https://www.mathrubhumi.com/movies-music/features/nf-varghese-malayalam-actor-death-anniversary-vargese-movies-villain-roles-character-cinema-film-1.4848478|access-date=2021-06-21|website=Mathrubhumi|language=en}}</ref> 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 Ashokan|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 as 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]], [[Samudhayam|Samudayam]], [[Aksharam]], [[Lelam]], [[Kudamattam]], [[Pathram|Patram]], [[Commissioner (film)|Commissioner]], [[Sallapam]], [[Punjabi House]], [[Manthra Mothiram|Manthramothiram]], [[Narasimham (film)|Narasimham]], [[Praja]], [[Dubai (2001 film)|Dubai]], [[Raavanaprabhu|Ravanaprabhu]], [[Nandanam (film)|Nandanam]], [[Ustad]], [[F. I. R. (1999 film)|F.I.R]], [[Valliettan]], [[Nariman (film)|Nariman]], [[Sundara Purushan (2001 film)|Sundara Purushan]], [[Priyam]], [[Vazhunnor]], [[Onnaman]] and [[Phantom (2002 film)|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.<ref>{{Cite web|title=എൻ.എഫ് വർഗീസിന്റെ ഓർമക്കായി മകൾ ചിത്രമൊരുക്കുന്നു; ആശംസകൾ നേർന്ന് മോഹൻലാൽ|url=https://www.mathrubhumi.com/movies-music/news/n-f-varghese-death-anniversary-mohanlal-shares-poster-of-his-daughter-sofia-movie-pyali-1.4843521|access-date=2021-06-21|website=Mathrubhumi|language=en}}</ref>
