Sylvia Sakellaridis is a multilingual international actress best known for her charisma, versatility, and enduring work ethic. She was born in Vermont and raised between Greece and the small town of Treviso, Italy, before studying in Rome where she cultivated her wide-ranging acting chops in the Italian cinema.
She landed her silver screen debut in Warner Bros' Italian-language comedy 'Studio Illegale' alongside Italian superstar Fabio Volo. Her follow-up was a leading role in a music video directed by Giulio Cangiano, whose film 'The Great Beauty' won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in 2015. She then became one of the faces for Vodafone's national commercial campaign directed by the Venice Film Festival's Young Cinema Award-winning director, Giuseppe Capotondi.
With Hollywood in her sights, she moved from Rome to Los Angeles and quickly became the face of multiple national commercial campaigns for some of the biggest brands of the day. These include Disney, Facebook, Chevrolet, Galbani Cheese, and Lavazza Coffee.
Her recent films include 'A Simple Favor Sequel', 'Surrender Dorothy', a drama on Amazon from Emmy Award-winning producer Gina M. Britton, as well as the experimental indie drama 'Panopticon', which was nominated for Best Feature at the Portland Film Festival and is also distributed by Amazon.
In addition to being an actor, a black belt in Karate, and a tango dancer, Sakellaridis has devoted much of her time to studying and teaching ancient practices like Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga to promote Peace, Freedom, and Joy. She works actively with her local communities as a certified Spinal Flow practitioner to bring awareness to the body in these incredibly revolutionary times.
As a writer on Medium, she shares her insights and experiences, contributing to her artistic development.
Sylvia engages online in creative projects where she recreates famous paintings bringing them to life using simple affordable, self-made materials and her own body as a canvas, highlighting her inspirational and accessible artistic philosophy.
Her next immediate goals include writing her first movie script with her lifelong mentor and getting certified in a groundbreaking new energetic healing approach.
