Abraham Ntonya

Abraham Ntonya is a Malawian actor. He is the youngest of five children and the son of the late LT.Gen Ernest C Ntonya and Anastasia Ntonya. After graduating with his A-level certificate from the International School of South Africa (ISSA), South Africa, he decided to follow his adolescent dream of moving to the United States of America to pursue a career as a professional actor. He graduated from the Arizona State University (ASU) with a BA in Theater and a minor in Communication, and got his MFA from the University of Houston.

With two decades of theater experience, appearing in plays such as Charles Mee's "Big Love" (2010) and Luis Valdez's "Zoot Suit" (2011), he quickly became associated with the film department during his four years at ASU, appearing in over 15 student films and short independent projects. Possessing the ability to successfully submerge into the content of his work, Abraham proved to be more than capable of portraying a wide range of characters both on stage and in front of the camera from the hero, professional or love interest, to the villain, antagonist or criminal. He was called the most "prolific actor" in the School of Theater and Film (SoTF) during an interview with the director of the SoTF, Jacob Pinholster, in 2011.

In 2012, Ntonya went on his first professional tour with the acting group "(Dis)Orientation" under the direction of Jeremiah Clay Neal and in association with Collegiate EmPowerment. He traveled to three different states on the east coast with the show "(Dis)Orietnation."
