Inanna Sarkis is a Canadian actress of Bulgarian and Assyrian descent. Her family immigrated to Canada and struggled to make ends meet. Speaking only Bulgarian and Assyrian at home, Inanna didn't learn English until she started school.
She first found her love for acting in her high school drama class where she performed The Beverly Hillbillies on stage. However, she pursued a Psychology and Criminal Justice degree at Ryerson University to fulfill her parent's expectations. In the meantime, she worked at bars and saved up enough money to move to California and pursue her acting dreams. In California, Inanna lived on top of a gym, while studying at various Acting studios and working as a bartender.
Inanna soon became one of the digital space's preeminent content creators, using her channels to showcase comedy skits and short films in which she writes, directs and stars. She's found success on a variety of platforms, including the TV and film industry. She recently wrapped Nick Cassavette's Marked Men feature film and can be seen playing the leading role in the horror film Seance, opposite Suki Waterhouse. She is also known for playing "Molly" film series franchise After, starring opposite Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes. In television, she recurred in the Netflix comedy Brews Brothers and booked a lead role in Jill Soloway and Channing Tatum's pilot for Amazon College. Inanna has also lent her voice to QCode for the podcast series The Left Right Game starring alongside Tessa Thompson. In 2022, she created and starred in her own podcast Zaya with the intention of showing a Middle Eastern woman as a powerful lead, and it hit #1 on Apple's Fiction Podcast list.
Last but not least, Inanna is the newest global ambassador of the International Medical Corps and has donated financially and helped raise awareness on the Syrian Refugee Crisis over the past several years.
