about me
Height: 5"8 | Eye Color: Brown | Hair Color: Black
Trained in the Method and Meisner approach with Susan Batson and John Desotelle, this unique skill set has garnered Sheikh leading roles in several independent films and theatre.
His recent credits include the mischievous ‘Puck’ from Once upon a dream, ‘Adam’ from Adam and Eve, and the hopelessly charming ‘Will’ from The Kut.
Frequently referred to as a real life Aladdin and Sinbad, Sheikh intends to constantly steal such roles in upcoming feature films and series television- roles which require charisma, charm, gut and humor.
