As a young, shy boy in grade school, Zuhair Ahmed never really knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. He had interests in architecture, cars, and tennis, but still had trouble finding himself. It wasn't until college where he finally decided to take a leap of faith and try acting; something he wished he had started much sooner.Born to immigrant parents from Pakistan, Zuhair Khurshid Ahmed spent his first couple of years in Virginia Beach, Virginia before moving to Orlando, Florida. He went on to spend his whole life in Orlando, along with his sister, whom he shares a close relationship with today. One of Ahmed's favorite things to do as a child all the way through college was to watch Bollywood movies with his family in the theater.With the support of his parents and close friends, Ahmed continued to hone his craft as an actor after college. He graduated from the Master Meisner Program at Truthful Acting Studios and was promptly featured at the school's showcase. Ahmed trained for around three and a half years at the conservatory program whilst building his resume with student film, independent film, web series, and local theatre.Now, he resides in Atlanta, Georgia and is excited to take big steps into the professional film and television industry. He would like to thank his parents for their ultimate sacrifice and unconditional love in this rather unpredictable journey. Ahmed is determined to make them proud and establish himself as a credible actor in the industry. Show less «
