About Anand Mahalingam

As an Indian-American actor and comedian, my journey to Hollywood has been anything but ordinary. From MCing cultural shows at my temple as a teen to performing on stage in Los Angeles’ top comedy clubs, I’ve always been driven by a passion for storytelling, humor, and authentic self-expression...

…While studying in college, I discovered my talent for engaging live audiences. I hosted every cultural show on campus, self-taught myself Adobe Creative Suite, and learned filmmaking from the ground up—starting with video editing, and eventually diving deep into scriptwriting, directing, and post-production through online tutorials.

This creative obsession led me to make a bold move: I left college and relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a full-time career in the entertainment industry. What started with an improv class evolved into a full-blown career in acting, stand-up comedy, and filmmaking.

Today, I’ve:

  • Performed in every major comedy club in Los Angeles
  • Landed my first national commercial
  • Secured a television speaking role
  • Starred as the lead actor in an independent feature film
  • Built a thriving creative network—starting from scratch, 2,000 miles away from home

I’m passionate about diverse representation, authentic storytelling, and using comedy to connect across cultures. Whether it’s through a sharp punchline, a moving monologue, or behind the camera, I’m here to inspire, entertain, and innovate.

Let’s connect if you’re looking for a fresh, bold voice in film, television, or comedy.
