EJ Paras

EJ Paras is a Filipino-American actor based in NJ/NYC. As the son of hard-working immigrants, EJ was instilled with a strong work ethic along with an inclination toward karaoke. He graduated college with a Marketing degree and works in social media strategy (his first professional acting jobs came from projects he developed on-the-job).

From acting in school plays and musicals throughout his school years, to participating in national writing competitions and a self-imposed film school by way of the Criterion Channel and Letterboxd, to volunteering at the New York Film Festival on their marketing and talent liaison teams, his gradual immersion into art made him want to explore it more deeply, leading him to write, produce, and act in short films with his friends.

He met an alumnus from the Stella Adler Studio at an Angie McMahon concert and registered for a summer workshop that night. The rest is history.
