Jeff Ararat

BIO

Born in Providence, RI, to immigrant parents, Jeff was raised in Pawtucket and Central Falls. Their relentless work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit deeply influenced him, instilling a passion for storytelling from an early age.

He served as an Infantryman and Mortarmen in the United States Army and deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan. A pivotal moment during his deployment was watching a rerun of Viola Davis's Oscar acceptance speech, which inspired him to pursue acting despite his initial reservations.

After his service, Jeff attended the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, where he honed his craft and became a finalist in the ACTF Region 1 Irene Ryan Acting Competition. He has performed in numerous plays across the country and took on the lead role in the Department of Defense-funded touring play "Second Chance," addressing real-world issues faced by soldiers in multiple bases.

Now focusing on film, Jeff is expanding his resume while embracing both stage and screen acting. He currently resides in various cities, including Albuquerque, Boston, and Houston.
