Angela Sarafyan, born in Yerevan, Armenia moved to Hollywood, Ca. at the age 4. She was very fortunate to have parents that instilled integrity, honesty, and love. Her grandmother and parents cultivated a beautiful Armenian household filled with a lot of tradition that became a defining factor of who Angela is. Her parents were artists who encouraged Angela to pursue her dreams. From a very young age she knew what she would want to pursue in life. It was having the chance to tell stories. Soon, at the age of 5 she began playing classical piano and dancing ballet. Being on stage felt like home, where she can be fully immersed in this other world. Music became her entrance into the world of stories and ballet woke her up to the ability to speak without words. These art forms revealed to her that life is beyond what we see in the day to day, but rather a chance to live in our dreams. Yet, it wasn’t somehow enough. She found in the process of these practices that acting held her full heart. She found that she had creative license to do and say things, to have the courage to reveal character, and the responsibility that came with this. She knew that every role that came her way would affect her life indefinitely and she would the characters. Her life was colored by artists and filmmakers of the past and she knew that she had a great responsibility to live up to the standards of those who had passed on. On the stage, in front of the camera, she can be her truest form through the characters she plays. The stage, the set will always be her home. She believes that if she can somehow through her characters make an audience laugh, cry, give them a new viewpoint about life, inspire a different way of thinking, to make them feel less alone, to enlighten them, than she has done her job.
