In this episode, I am extremely excited to spotlight actor Shaan Sharma, renowned for his impactful contributions as a SAG/AFTRA board member. Those accomplishments are often overshadowed by his talented portrayal of Shmuel in "The Chosen". Shaan Sharma has a remarkable ability to bring depth and authenticity to his characters, Shaan has captivated audiences with his emotional range and dedication to his craft for nearly 20yrs. Hailing from a diverse background in the Minneapolis area, he seamlessly merges his own experiences into his roles, creating a profound connection with viewers. Beyond the screen, Shaan's commitment to the entertainment industry is evident through his role as a board member, advocating for fellow actors and shaping the industry's future. Shaan and I spoke in-depth about the current SAG/AFTRA & WGA strike. During our conversation, Shaan’s passion and dedication towards his fellow performers was self evident. His ability to speak with clarity and precision was helpful and gave us crystal clear insights to an otherwise complex negotiation process.
