About Me — Ramin Doostdar
From Iranian Roots to Austria to America — A Journey of Discovery
Although we have never met, I am genuinely pleased to meet you.
“How so? You don’t know me” you are wondering.
Persians are known to be very polite and friendly.
Born and raised in Austria, I grew up with multiple languages.
German, my first language; Farsi (Persian), my second; and then, a little later, English. I have always loved languages and culture.
While still in school, I knew I wanted to become an artist. “But how am I supposed to tell this to my parents?” I just went for it, and they accepted that I was a dreamer when I got accepted into several drama schools in Europe.
I will always remember my time at performing arts school as the best time of my life. Perhaps more on this in a different article.
After finishing my studies, I was officially an actor. I was very lucky. I started playing leading roles in many different theaters in Austria, Germany, and also in Switzerland. Roles in big theaters and in small theaters. Big Broadway shows and smaller artistic plays. I absolutely loved it!
