JD Rao

I'm a NYC based actor and filmmaker. After a career in consulting and finance, I took some courses at the New York Film Academy (as well as Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, School of Visual Arts, Upright Citizens Brigade, Second City) and started acting in films and making films, with a focus on South Asian stories.

I am enjoying this new phase of learning and creating and am currently researching and writing a web series.

I grew up in Mumbai and enjoy staying connected with industry professionals at both places.
