Julia Farsadi

Julia Farsadi was born in the quaint suburb of West Covina, California, but moved with her family to Washington State when she was just three months old. She spent the first fourteen years of her life growing up as somewhat of a tomboy in Spokane and Kirkland, Washington with her two sisters and parents before moving to Orange County, California for high school. At nineteen she discovered screen writing and went on to pursue a Film Degree at the University of California, Santa Barbara where she graduated as an Outstanding Senior with High Honors and Distinction in Her Major for completing a full-length screenplay for her senior thesis. Immediately following graduation, she relocated from Santa Barbara, California to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film and television writing. After landing a job as a production assistant on a prime time television show, nearly taking top prizes in several screen writing competitions, and working for a time as a receptionist at an A-list actor's production company, she sustained a debilitating neck injury that led to ten months of physical therapy and a new outlook on life. She gave writing another shot and almost landed a job as a writers' assistant on a popular television series before she decided to return to her first love--acting! Having been bitten by the acting bug at the tender age of eight years old when she appeared in her first school play as Tom Sawyer's jilted child fiancé, her renewed love for acting eventually brought her to the television show Journeyman starring Kevin McKidd and Brian Howe where she was selected to play "Hugh's Secretary" throughout the thirteen episodes of the freshman show, which premiered in the fall of 2007. Although Journeyman did not survive the Writers Strike of that year, Julia went on to gain the work necessary for her to join the Screen Actors Guild, which she did in 2009. She is presently continuing to pursue her love of acting and writing in this "crazy town of dreams" called Hollywood, CA. Besides her film and production classes at UCSB, she has done the bulk of her training at the acclaimed American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the LA On-Camera Training Center, both located in Los Angeles, CA.
