Dario Askari is an actor, born and raised in Rasht, Iran as a teenager moved to Costa Mesa, California where he started his acting career, now he is currently studying Dentistry at Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC) in Barcelona, Spain.
“My goal is to move people emotionally through acting, whether that means making them laugh, or making them emotional and reflect on life.”
At age thirteen, he fell in love with acting. He began by making ridiculous short films and improvising on his own before enrolling in a Costa Mesa High School acting program.
Dario is mostly known for his role of Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast Musical, where he received the Outstanding Achievement Award at the 2017 Macy’s Awards.
