Paras H. Chaudhari

Acting Reel

Astoria Park was the birth of Paras' career as an actor, filmmaker, and musician. Paras began writing the script with partner Chrysovalantis Stamelos in the summer of 2004. Drawing inspiration from his love for basketball and hip-hop to his constant struggle for cultural acceptance, Paras delivers a powerful performance as Aman, a talented young lyricist with a hair-trigger temper. Paras previously appeared in Crescent Street Films’ Jeet, Priya Shelly's Faculty of Law, and made his television debut June 2008 on Law & Order: Criminal Intent – Episode "Assassin".

Born in Kalol, India, Paras spent his childhood in Jersey City and his adolescence in the outer suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. He earned his B.S. in Information Management & Technology from Syracuse University before moving to New York City in the fall 2004. Soon after, Paras and Valantis teamed up to form Crescent Street Films, LLC.

Paras is currently training at HB Studio under Lorraine Serabian and Vocal Coach Ilse Pfeifer.
