Originally born and raised in Kuwait, Sevan escaped with his family to America during the first Gulf War in 1990. He moved to NYC in February of 2007.Sevan spent his high school and college years in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida where he was bitten by the theatre bug in high school. It was a fortunate accident that the school did not offer two of his favorite sports - soccer and volleyball - and seeing nothing else, decided on a Drama I class. The rest, to be cliche, is history.A native speaker of four languages, Sevan comes from a family of performers. His mother was an actress in Lebanon and at one time was offered a full scholarship to the Boston Conservatory of Acting - family obligations barred her from going. His older brother spent his high school years on the stage in comedies, but Sevan, an active viewer of American TV sitcoms and movies, wanted to be in front of a camera. A supportive best friend and a summer theatre casting in his first musical (Little Shop of Horrors as Mr. Mushnik) sparked his interest and growing love of the stage and singing.Sevan spent four years performing in every single show he could, sometimes working behind the scenes. Sevan was accepted into the University of South Florida where he spent 9 years obtaining several degrees (moreso out of a need to stay in the country than a nerdy status quo). Sevan holds two B.A.s (English and Public relations), a minor in Journalism, and two M.A.s (Literature and Rhetoric & Composition). During those 9 years he continued performing in community and regional theatre productions. To survive and pay the bills, Sevan worked as a professor of writing and literature at several post-secondary institutions before finally making the decision to move to New York City to pursue theatre, TV and film full-time.Sevan arrived in NYC on February 2, 2007 on a cold winter afternoon and two weeks later was hitting the pavement auditioning for everything he could. Two weeks later, Sevan began rehearsals for his NY premiere as Theo in The Village Playwrights production of Emmanuel Gavales' I Know You opposite Tom Lacey. A few months later he nabbed his Equity card and shortly after made his Off-Broadway debut as Laith in the Lortel Award-Winning production of Betrayed at The Culture Project - a role he later reprised for the PBS telecast, a Kennedy Center benefit performance, and for L.A. TheatreWorks.In the fall of 2009 Sevan embarked on a career as a playwright at the urging of an acting peer. What began as writing a short sketch for the Arab American Comedy Festival has burgeoned into a deep passion for writing for the stage and screen.Sevan currently resides on the Upper West Side in Manhattan as he pursues work in theatre, TV, film.<br /> <p> </p> <strong>News</strong><br /> October 2, 2011Sevan will be performing the role of Nehal Benhamou in the 2011 NYMF musical Les Enfants des Paris running Oct 3 – Oct 15 at The Barrow Group.
