New Delhi (India), January 07: Dipanshu Sharma is winning hearts in India and in America, and the reason is his nuanced acting and his diverse choice of characters. The bilingual actor left everything in India to make a career in Los Angeles. Now, he is on an indisputable mission to increase diversity and put Asian actors at the forefront of the global artistic community.
He started small but always dreamt big. He began his training with actors from the famous National School of Drama in Delhi, where he got an opportunity to be part of the Sahitya Kala Parishad Group. Later he was trained by senior industry professionals at Lee Strasberg Institute Los Angeles.
If you have not, you should binge on these notable works of Sharma: That Winning Feeling–where he plays a competitive psychopathic chess player; Baking 101–where he plays Jay, a homosexual closeted Indian man who is confronted by his truth; Slumberland–where he plays Nico and tries to find a home with the challenges winter brings on the streets of chilly Los Angeles.
Sharma’s latest project is also his first venture into the European film industry, a romantic, dramatic thriller film about mental health issues, substance abuse, and friendship but the power of your dreams. The film is set to be acquired and distributed on Amazon Prime.
Dipanshu paved a path in showbiz that is unique to him. His film That Winning Feeling went on to win Best Advanced Filmmaking Short and The Audience Award at PCCFF. He earned praise for his acting skills, calling his performance exquisite and beautifully realistic. He continues his Hollywood takeover with the upcoming television series The Scam King of the West, making it his first venture into TV.
On his journey to becoming the best actor in America, one secret ingredient is the balance between knowledge and experience one has in life. As so much of life is about learning, one has to be mindful, for whenever knowledge surpasses the experience, one ends up feeling overwhelmed and so the book The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. The entertainer said, “It’s a wonderful book that guides you to get in touch with your inner child again so you can rekindle that connection to yourself. Whenever I am in doubt, I go back to this book and get my answers.”
The Indian American Actor believes in evolving, so he is developing feature films that are gritty murder tales based on true events.
What’s next on his cards? The entertainer is now venturing into new projects along with American talent on a television series, where his character struggles between morale and money. The story will focus on the immeasurable amount of phone scams in the USA. Currently, in pre-production, this exciting series is laid out for 2 seasons.
