Suraj Sharma

[Alvedansen]

Born March 21 1993, Suraj Sharma is an Indian actor from New Delhi, who made his debut with the title role in the 2012 film Life of Pi. Directed by Ang Lee, Life of Pi was adapted from the novel of the same name.
Before the role, he had no former acting experience, and auditioned only because he was there with his younger brother who requested he come along. He was one of the 3,000 actors to audition for the role of Piscine Molitor Patel (Pi). Sharma went through several rounds of auditions before winning the part.
Director Ang Lee has stated that he selected Sharma primarily based on his expressive eyes and innocent appearance. According to him, Sharma had not only the emotion, but also the "look" of Pi. His "medium complexion" and "average build" were deemed perfect for the role.
Since filming Life of Pi, Sharma has returned to studying philosophy at St. Stephen's College, Delhi of Delhi University, and intends to continue working in filmmaking in some capacity. The movie has received critical acclaim and positive reviews for Sharma's performance.

Suraj looked really dishy last night at the Oscars. I said it on the Oscars thread, and I'll say it here, but I loved that they kept panning to him whenever Life of Pi was nominated/won. I mean, of course he's the lead so they had too, but still, he's so good looking. I didn't mind seeing him grace the screen several times last night!
