Alok Tewari

Alok was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (present day Serbia), of Indian parents. His father was an executive in an airline whereas his mother a painter (oil on canvas). As a result of his father, he moved to several countries, including France, India, Kenya, Iraq and Oman. He arrived to New York in the mid 80's and received a BBA in International Management. He then embarked on a career in banking/finance that took him from New York to Mexico and Argentina, where he lived for 5 years. It was there that he happened to study with Argentine actor and director Lorenzo Quinteros, which eventually led Alok to dedicate himself to acting at the relatively late age of 34. He returned to NYC to further his studies and received an MFA in Acting from the Actors Studio Drama School (at the New School University).

He has worked extensively in theatre (off and on Broadway), TV and film. He speaks English, Spanish, Hindi and is studying French.
