Sabastian Zeqharr is an actor who hails from the south of the Carolina’s. Graduate of the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. Interned at SNL. Studied improv at UCB.

Sabastian isn’t fond of speaking about Sabastian but Sabastian does it when Sabastian must. His credits consist of indie projects and many random commercials (Skateboarding for Mountain Dew, Bleacher Report, AT&T) and tv spots Homicide City (killer of course) and Danny’s House.

Art is Art, Life is Life and sometime it's both.
