Eyas Younis Shanaah

Founder of Casting Arabia | Actor & Writer based in Hollywood | Streamlining Casting, Script Localization, and Global Productions in MENA.

After completing my MBA program, I held several corporate jobs in NYC and the MENA region. By an unexpected coincidence, I stepped into the world of acting, where my passion for both acting and writing grew quickly. This ultimately led me to leave my lucrative managerial career and return to NYC in 2012 to study acting and pursue it professionally. Since then, I’ve appeared in more than 43 productions, over 20 of which have been primetime TV shows. A few years ago, I took the first steps toward creating Casting Arabia, a SaaS platform that introduces the Hollywood casting model to the Middle East.
