Oh man, remember that little dude from Life of Pi? The one stranded on that lifeboat with the tiger? Well, let me tell you, that kid is all grown up now and still as talented (if not more!) as he was then. Suraj Sharma, the former child star, is now in his 30s. Let\u2019s catch up with this rising star and see what other amazing projects he’s been up to since making a splash with Life of Pi all those years ago.<\/p>\n

Where Was Suraj Sharma Born?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Suraj was born on March 21st, 1993 in New Delhi, India. He was raised by his mother, Shailaja Sharma, who was an economist and his father, Gokul Churai, who was a software engineer. He is the oldest of his siblings (which means he\u2019s the most responsible), a brother and sister. So, how did Suraj go from India to Hollywood?<\/p>\n

Suraj Sharma Movies and TV Shows<\/b><\/h2>\n

Despite starring in an Oscar-nominated movie, Suraj is still criminally underrated as an actor. According to IMDb, Suraj has only had 18 roles total, including a film currently in post-production. For someone with that kind of raw talent, his untapped potential is just waiting to explode in the film scene. Let\u2019s go back to where it all started with Life of Pi.<\/p>\n

Actor in the Life of Pi, Suraj Sharma<\/b><\/h3>\n

Life of Pi was one of the biggest movies of the year when it came out in 2012. Not only did Ang Lee create a visual spectacle but he also created a story that pulls at the heartstrings. Suraj\u2019s portrayal of Pi inspired an entire generation to never give up even in the darkest of times.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, Suraj’s journey to this iconic role<\/a> was serendipitous \u2013 he attended the audition because his little brother twisted his arm. After 3,000 different auditions, Ang Lee took a liking to Sharma’s expressive eyes and innocent demeanor, leading to Suraj\u2019s first-ever role.<\/p>\n

After Life of Pi, Suraj returned to college to study philosophy and, eventually, film at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. He returned to acting in 2014 as the nephew of a terrorist in Homeland and in Million Dollar Arm.<\/p>\n

Bollywood Roles<\/b><\/h3>\n

Suraj has starred in many Indian films over the next couple of years in leading and supporting roles. His next huge role in Hollywood wouldn\u2019t be until 2018 as he starred in the CBS TV show God Friended Me as Rakesh.<\/p>\n
