About me

The 2024 showreels reflect a body weight 6-7 kg higher than my current one.
My professional resume may not seem typical for an actor of my age. This is due to years dedicated to in-depth study and work experience, not only in Acting, but also in the fields of Music, Writing/Directing, and Videomaking, in addition to the COVID/post-COVID years, during which I directed the artistic programming of an intentional community in Sabina (Arion - Il Clan del Bosco).

ABOUT ME:

I define myself as a versatile actor and a modern storyteller or bard.
For me, acting is a rite of transformation that demands complete focus on our most burning human matter. It is my Path of Knowledge: challenging, yet profoundly enriching and immensely fun.
In my roles, I seek a wide range of expressive registers. I do not look for the surface, but for depth and a unique perspective, particularly in the subtleties and internal micro-movements.
The art of acting, for me, is about finding a clean, precise, and authentic connection between intent and instinct, through listening.
I am particularly drawn to characters with hidden fragilities that conceal an unknown inner power, or those who move nimbly between the comic and the dramatic, and in scenarios of magical realism.
My appearance is often perceived as multi-ethnic, and I consider this a strength. It allows me to embody characters with diverse global backgrounds, lending my voice to stories that touch on themes of diversity and social justice.
I am also a dedicated singer and multi-instrumentalist, focused on researching traditional and ritual music from around the world.
This vocal and musical ability makes me an ideal candidate for roles requiring performances in multiple languages (Italian and English, plus several others, including ancient ones). In fact, I always include various vocal excerpts in my material.
You can find my YouTube channel by typing the name "Emanuel Rashan".
