If anybody ever told you, that a village boy from the third world poor nation of Bangladesh with an unpronounceable name is one of the hunkiest, rising, multi-talented young actors with undeniable movie star charisma, intensity, talent and drive to match, you would probably laugh out loud at the thought of something so unprecedented and extraordinary in Hollywood... until of course you met Priyom Haider.

Not only does he maintain a near perfect physique free of sports enhancement drugs with his unparalleled dedication and discipline to fitness which was showcased on The Late Late Show with James Corden (2015), he also speaks several languages and can do almost any accent authentically just upon learning it phonetically. If that wasn't enough, he is also skilled in writing, directing, producing, editing and photography and modeling. He is also trained in film and stage combat and able to learn fight choreography relatively quickly because of his elite fitness level and athleticism. None of that of course, he learned in college where he graduated with two bachelor's degrees in Telecommunications (Journalism) and Finance, from The University of Georgia at a very young age. It was out of necessity to think outside the box and expand his skill sets in the Old Hollywood way, to separate himself from the rest of the crowd and do what is needed to move forward.

When he first came to Los Angeles from Georgia, he literally moved with absolutely no prior knowledge about the business, just only his ambition and the belief in himself. Not even a survival job lined up. As dangerous and risky that was, he managed to stay focused, survive and grow.

In the very beginning of his career, with no intention to wait around and waste precious time being anxious or rely on luck to book a worthy project to get into the Screen Actors Guild, he took matters into his own hands and qualified for SAG by writing, producing, directing, and starring in his very first comedy project, Cheater's Relief (2012).

He is also a big supporter of equal opportunity for minorities, diversity and the LGBT community, which was displayed in his award winning comedy movie, Match.con (2016).

Regardless of having an unusual and difficult to pronounce name, it also because of his unique, internationally mysterious and ambiguous look he is able to break the barriers of stereotypical roles that are written for people of South East Asia.

Like his biggest, greatest heroes, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Lee, and Sylvester Stallone, he is determined to stay true to himself and make a worldwide impact with his career and name in order to serve a bigger purpose - to give back to the community and help the generations after. The future looks promising for Priyom Haider, and he is planning to never give up; also like his other hero, John Cena.
